Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To advise the honourable Member, this particular section was not in the previous act. It's being put in for the very reason the honourable Member has pointed out; that there have been incidents where the safety of students and school staff have been in jeopardy, to a point where there has been physical abuse of both staff and students. The idea here is to make certain that it's clear that part of the responsibility of a principal or acting principal is to ensure that there are considerations and there is a recognition procedure for dealing with the safety of students and school staff.

That, Mr. Chairman, is also why we did have some concern earlier about the whole matter of parents having direct right into classrooms because in some cases ...Another incident I know of, Mr. Chairman, is a parent actually went into a classroom and actually attacked a staff member. There has to be some considerations for those matters.
