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. 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:--
