Yes. As the Member does know, the Safe and Caring Schools Act is new. It is something that was brought forth in the 17thAssembly, and I had the honour to sign off on it earlier in this term. We also have a territorial school code of conduct within this Act. The territorial school code of conduct states that it is the responsibility and the right of the school communities to promote equity and fair treatment of one's self and others. It also states that the school community is to refrain from discriminating against others on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, nationality, ethnic origin, place of origin, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, family affiliation, political belief, political association, or social condition. We wanted to put everything in there in these regulations so that we can protect as many people as we can and provide the best and the safest and most caring schools possible. That was all done through the consultations.
