WHEREAS the Government of Ontario needs to consider all opportunities for significant cost savings; and
WHEREAS Ontario is the only province to fund public and separate school boards; and
WHEREAS annual cost savings in excess of $1 Billion per year could be achieved; and
WHEREAS Ontario provincial funding of religious schools of the Roman Catholic faith exclusively has led the United Nations Human Rights Committee to censure Canada for religious discrimination in 1999 and again in 2005; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the NDP urges the Government of Ontario to merge the English Public and Roman Catholic School Boards into one unified publicly funded English School Board; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the NDP urges the Government of Ontario to merge the French Public and French Roman Catholic School Boards into another unified publicly funded French school board.
