Mr. Chairman, I understand what the Minister is saying, but we are not at that clause yet. It does say that you can consider any type of comments or recommendations of the school. It says an education body shall consider this. However, this particular clause says that in the development of a discipline policy, it will be made, in accordance with the direction of the Minister and the divisional education council. The divisional education council will be a different body from the community education council, whether it is the parent advisory committee, the student body or the principal participating. I am saying the discipline policy reflects a decision coming downward and on the advice, they may consider it. There is nothing that reflects what the community wants in the discipline policy. We are devolving a lot to the divisional boards and we want the authority to lie at the community levels. To be able to state that we are going to develop a discipline policy at the divisional level without consultation from the community level, contradicts what we are trying to do.

I would like to ask our legal counsel how we can address this to reflect the participation of those particular bodies in developing the discipline policy. Thank you.
