Mr. Speaker, thank you to the Minister for giving us a broad overview but it sounds like there is some work that wants to be done but is not being done. Until such time as we need to raise awareness of bullying in school in our system, can the Minister describe, because we are still working on such actions at this point, what exactly are the legal recourses for the school administration to deal with bullying as it stands today? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Most recently the Government of Quebec has announced new measures to counter cyber-bullying and bullying in schools, and I have to commend that government and other governments across Canada who have gone down that path.

This made me reflect that not that many weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a town hall meeting with the YK1 trustees and parents. One of the topics discussed that night was on bullying and I was concerned that although the schools are doing their part to curb this type of behaviour, we as legislators are sitting on the sidelines with our mouths...

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Just to let the Members know here, we are in health services programs for the $4.79 million. We’re just in that category, so I’ll turn the response over to Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Beaulieu.

Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Borrowing Authorization Act.

Question has been called.

---Carried

As agreed, we will turn to Bill 1-17(2). Does the committee agree to turn to Bill 1?

Thank you, Mr. Aumond. Moving on in questioning, we have Mr. Yakeleya.

Can we proceed to a clause-by-clause review of the bill?

Thank you very much again to the Minister and to the witnesses. Mr. Menicoche, what is the wish of the committee?

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Bisaro, your time has expired. I’ll allow if you any other last questions.
