I would like to take this opportunity to address a lot of the misinformation being purported by school boards, trustees, union leaders and political opponents for the sole purpose of creating fear and anxiety for parents, school staff, and students. These types of tactics prevent any progress in order to protect their monopoly and their own vested interests. As Education Minister, I am committed to make sure Manitoba students have every opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve success.
