ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr Wildman moved,

M. Wildman propose,

Whereas, the Minister of Education and Training has said that the provincial government intends to take a further $1 billion away from the education of Ontario children; and

Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative government appears determined to provoke a work stoppage by Ontario teachers, thereby disrupting the education of Ontario students; and

Whereas Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act, removes the right of school boards to raise revenue for the purpose of funding local schools and meeting local students' needs; and

Whereas the Minister of Education and Training has stated that the future role of school boards will be limited to negotiating teachers' salaries and benefits while the provincial government limits boards' funds; and

Whereas Ontario teachers should enjoy all the rights to collectively bargain terms and conditions of work that are enjoyed by other Ontario workers, including an unrestricted right to strike; and

Whereas the Mike Harris Conservative government has created uncertainty about the level of funding that will be provided to school boards for the purpose of educating Ontario children;

Therefore be it resolved that the Legislative Assembly of Ontario calls on the Mike Harris Conservative government to withdraw Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act; to restore the right to local school boards and teachers' federations to negotiate local, quality learning conditions for Ontario students; and to make public the new funding formula and the exact dollar amounts to be allocated for educating students across the province.
