Actually, we thought, Mr. Chairman, that section 25 and 26 really incorporated exactly what the honourable Member has mentioned, because the present, existing bill really had nothing to do with, or nothing to say about parents' participation. So that was our intention. We thought from our review through the standing committee that we added a few clauses that actually incorporated and responded to that. So the comments of the honourable Member are actually incorporated in both clauses. There is a component that I think Mr. Koe mentioned that you can't always rely on the system itself to be responsible for your child. At some time, as a parent, you have a responsibility to be part of the process.
What this section also does is it not only ensures responsibility, but it also indicates that parents are entitled to be part of the process now. Historically, they have not been involved in the process, and what we are saying here is that they are entitled to be part of it, but part of that entitlement also includes a responsibility to participate.
The other thing is, there were additional educational health and safety matters because previously, in the Education Act, one only focused on educational programming and I think the standing committee said there is the issue of health and safety for a student who is attending school and there are concerns that, as educators, we might not be aware of, in the home or in the community that could be causing problems. We wanted to include all those components, certainly in response to the comments the honourable Member has made.
