Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment and it is in regard to the petition that I tabled in the House on June 18th. Mr. Speaker, I was happy to receive a very quick response from the Minister to the petitions. It was less than a month later. The only thing is that the answer given to a very serious petition signed by a lot of parents and teachers and concerned people in my riding about the class size was responded in a manner that really disappointed those who petitioned and the parents and teachers who held a forum on class size where they wanted to explain the situation of crowded classes in our local school systems.

The answer basically says that the law is the way it is and we cannot change the law and you just kind of have to accept that. I just thought it was a very inconsiderate answer. I would like to ask the Minister, why did he not give any more consideration to this very serious petition? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
