PUBLIC WRITTEN QUESTIONS


Date entered on Order Paper: November 4, 2002

12 Gary Coons, President, Prince Rupert Teachers' Union, to ask the Hon. the Minister of Finance, regarding the Minister's responsibility for taxation, the following question:--: When will the Minister announce that the $20 million raised by the 2% school tax increase be put into education and not remain in general revenues?

13 Louise Scott, Chairperson, Quesnel School District, to ask the Hon. the Premier and the Hon. the Minister of Education, the following question:--: The communiqué regarding Safe Schools Task Force states "the Government recognizes that education is the cornerstone of our society". During the election campaign, the Liberal Party promised to protect education funding. Government subsequently legislated a salary increase and failed to fund that salary increase. Our Teachers' Association recently submitted a list of classes whose size exceeds last year's Collective Agreement limits and we have attached this for your information. Next year's legislated salary increase will continue to erode educational programs.; Our question is, "Why won't this Government live up to its election promise and fund the legislated salary increase?"

14 Margaret Robb, Community Partner Member, Regional Child Care Council of Capital Regional District, to ask the Hon. the Minister of State for Early Childhood Development, regarding the Minister's responsibility for early childhood development funds, the following question:--: Given that BC has received federal government dollars for early childhood development and that Minister Stephens and Minister L. Reid have stated publicly that 50% of this year's money would go to child care, when will Minister L. Reid implement a plan, release the money and make her actions accountable to the public?

15 Barry J. Janyk, Mayor, Town of Gibsons, to ask the Hon. the Minister of Transportation, regarding the Minister's responsibility for BC Ferries, the following question:--: With regard to the Integrated Transportation Study, is BC Ferries part of the study and, if so, will the issues of ticketing, transfers and discounts be reviewed?
