Does the Minister of Education agree with that comment from the Seven Oaks School Division?
* (1400) Hon. James McCrae (Minister of Education and Training): Categorically not, Madam Speaker. The Deputy Minister of Education has advised me that his officials take strong exception to that position taken by representatives of the Seven Oaks School Division. More troubling to me or equally troubling to me is the assertion in the letterwhich I assume is proposed to be printed because I have not seen it yet. The letter is signed by the chair of the board, but it makes the point that the issue is more about partisan politics than it is about education, which we know there is plenty of partisan politics involved with this issue. But the fact that the school division would take the position that this is not about education is extremely troubling to me. It goes back to what I said about the initial report put out by Mr. Wiens, the superintendent of the division, the one that I tabled here in the House which makes the same point that no harm was done, that there are plenty of analogies
