—because we work co-operatively. My time is your time, and their time is my time.
I appreciate our witnesses' being here.
I want to give notice of motion of an amendment to Mrs. Thomas's notice of motion. I'm glad she raised this issue. I was concerned as well about what was happening with the Peel District School Board.
The Toronto Star indicated that the chair of the Peel District School Board cited inexperienced staff rushing to execute a directive from the education ministry itself in Ontario. The board chair said, “does the minister really know the directive that was put in front of the board?”
My notice of amendment would be, if the committee chooses to examine this issue, that we convene the Minister of Education in Ontario. We've seen a lot of chaos in Ontario schools and in Ontario school libraries. I think that, if we choose to investigate this subject—and I think there may be reason to do so—it would be very important to have the Minister of Education come forward and explain how it is that this government in Ontario has caused this chaos within school libraries, which are such an important source of information for students and young people in Ontario. That's my notice.
I will now move on to our terrific witnesses. I appreciate their being here.
