First of all, I think it's really important to note that since the pandemic, violence in the classroom has gone up. The Elementary Teachers' Federation did a members survey in 2023, a year ago, and 80% of their members said that the number of violent incidents had increased. Teachers will experience upward of 50 instances of harassment or violence over the course of one year.
I also want to mention this. It may be a little bit outside or widening this a bit, but 80% of teachers are women. I think that's important as well, because it means that women are working in very unsafe environments. As Tesa mentioned, we don't have the resources. There's systemic underfunding of education in the provinces. We need more training. We need more resources. Since that doesn't exist, if section 43 disappears, we're going to see, as we've said before, more problems of violence, because teachers will be reminded not to put their hands on children. We'll do more of these evacuations. I'm sure you've heard of these. It's where a child is having dysregulation and we have to evacuate the entire class.
