Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m trying to get some details on a particular problem that’s highlighted at a number of schools. I’ve been an MLA for nine years and I hear this repeatedly as a significant problem, not just from parents but other MLAs and other ridings and regions. That particular problem is social passing. I wonder what the department is doing to stop social passing and making it prevalent within our school systems out there. Kids need a fair shot, obviously, but if they’re being passed under the guise of social passing, then they’re not really being set up properly with all the tools and mechanisms to be prepared for the future. That said, maybe the Minister could enlighten us on the Department of Education’s method or policy to stamp out social passing.
