ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |

Opposition Day |
Jour de l'opposition |
|
Mrs McLeod moved, |
Mme McLeod propose, |
Whereas the Common Sense Revolution promises not to cut education spending in the classroom; and
Whereas the millions of dollars in cuts to education brought in by Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen have in fact hurt children and affected the classroom; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have cut nearly $1 billion out of our elementary and secondary education system through reductions in GLGs, social contract reductions, and expenditure control plan reductions; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced thousands of Ontario children to sit in overcrowded classrooms; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced many children with special needs to lose their resource teachers; and
Whereas thousands of Ontarians will no longer have the opportunity to attend junior kindergarten and adult education programs due to poor policy decisions by the Minister of Education and Training; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, have forced thousands of Ontario teachers to lose their jobs; and
Whereas parents no longer have confidence in Mike Harris and his Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen to make decisions with the best interest of children in mind; and
Whereas parents and other taxpayers have clearly said that the government is cutting too much too quickly especially where education is concerned; and
Whereas parents feel that the Minister of Education and Training has not heard their concerns to date; and
Whereas the only thing guiding the Harris government is the tax cut;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government to stop any further reductions in the funding of our elementary and secondary schools; start listening to parents, students, and teachers on issues of education reform; and bring forward policies and initiatives that are guided by the best interest of children.
