Orders of the Day

Opposition Day

Ordres du jour

Jour de l’opposition

Marit Stiles moved,

Marit Stiles propose,
Whereas the independent Financial Accountability Office found that the Government failed to allocate $600 million in COVID-19 response funds and underspent its education budget by $432 million in the 2022-2023 fiscal year; and 

Whereas the funding provided to school boards has been inadequate to cover pandemic-related expenses; and 

Whereas this has resulted in an estimated budget shortfall of at least $100 million for school boards across the province; and 

Whereas school boards are proposing hundreds of staff layoffs due to this budget shortfall; 

Therefore the Legislative Assembly calls on the Government to cover all pandemic-related expenditures for school boards, including the programs and infrastructure needed to support students following three years of learning disruption. 

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,

The question was then put.
