NOTICES

SPECIAL DEBATES – OPPOSITION DAY

DÉBATS SPÉCIAUX – JOUR DE L’OPPOSITION

1. Ms. MacLeod – That, in the opinion of this House, Ontario students and their parents deserve a world class education system with the best and brightest teachers that includes extra-curricular and co-curricular activities that are free from disruptions;

And whereas, extra-curricular and co-curricular activities enrich our children's learning experience and the McGuinty-Wynne government have been unable to ensure that these programs are protected in our schools;

And whereas, despite enacting and then repealing Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act which imposed union contracts on teachers and education workers, the government has not been able to ensure stability in Ontario's schools;

And whereas, the House believes that teachers in our classrooms should be hired because they are the best qualified to teach our students rather than being hired based on seniority; therefore,

The Premier and the Minister of Education should, within 72 hours of the passage of this motion, send a letter to all Directors of Education, Trustees of District School Boards and the union leaders at the Central offices and Local offices of all the provincial teachers' unions, that expresses the will of this duly and democratically elected Legislature that:

● The Government should introduce legislation that amends a teachers' job description to re-include certain co-instructional activities that the Liberal government removed. Said co-instructional activities to be re-introduced into a teacher’s legislated job description shall include, but not be limited to: timely and fully completed report cards; meeting with parents outside classroom hours; attending staff meetings; marking assignments; and helping students with remediation, special needs and extra work after school;

● That union leaders should no longer tell front-line teachers how those teachers may use their personal time both inside of or outside of the school day, including but not limited to: volunteering; helping students; supervising, performing or organizing extra-curricular or co-curricular activities; and that, contravening the aforementioned shall be considered by this House an abuse of union power and that those involved in such tactics should be referred to the Ministry of Labour for investigation for engaging in illegal labour action under Ontario's Labour Relations Act and subject to fines; and that, if fined, they should be reported to the Ontario College of Teachers for workplace harassment and conduct unbecoming of a teaching professional;

● That the Liberal government, through an order-in-council, should repeal all aspects of the controversial Ontario Regulation 274/12, Hiring Practices, that was instated on September 12, 2012. By repealing this regulation the Government recognizes that they have hindered student success by preventing principals in our schools to hire the best qualified teacher for the job.

Addressed to the Premier. To be debated Tuesday, February 26, 2013.
