As I said earlier, and I’ll say again, the vast majority of teachers in this province are excellent and awesome and do a great job. I want to call out especially the fantastic teachers at école Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Amherstburg, Ontario.

As we all know, there are always a few bad apples in the barrel. Part of this bill increases accountability. We in the PC caucus believe that accountability for the education system is very important, particularly since it’s paid for by the parents in this province. So we think accountability for teachers is important, especially to maintain the professionalism of the profession of teaching, and also for the protection of children. Why doesn’t the NDP agree?
