Mr. Speaker, the Action démocratique du Québec has recently endorsed the concept of education vouchers for Quebec's education system. The purpose of this initiative is to give parents more freedom of choice. Parents would receive an education voucher that they could remit to the public or private school of their choice to defray the tuition costs.
Rather than promoting an education system that levels down, ADQ members have dared to think outside the box and have come up with an original idea that will democratize and diversify our schools.
I would like to commend the ADQ and its leader, Mario Dumont, for their efforts to improve the quality of teaching through an education system where it is the parents and students who decide.
