Thank you. What page are we on? Page 12-28, thank you. Tourism and parks, grants and contributions, contributions. Mr. Bromley.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Although I disagree with the premise on which inclusive schooling funding dollars are distributed, we’ve had a cut, a loss of $1 million in the inclusive schooling budgeting.
Can the Minister tell me if there is any way the Department of Education, from within, could find the $1 million to reinstate that until such time as this survey, study, consultation process that he’s talking about has taken place? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. To the motion. Mr. Dolynny.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Vician.
Ms. Bisaro.
Not only are there inadequate resources for inclusive schooling, but the way that the inclusive schooling funding is distributed, I believe, is premised on a wrong approach. I would like to ask the Minister if he’s aware of how other jurisdictions fund inclusive schooling if they have inclusive schooling policies, and do we have examples where the inclusive schooling funding follows a student and is not provided through a formula.
Agreed. Thank you. Page 12-27, tourism and parks, operations expenditure summary, $11.962 million.
Motion is being circulated. Motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Hawkins.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Ramsay.
