Alberta's Political Leaders Respond to Election Questions on Catholic education in the province
As part of the ACSTA's ongoing election coverage, we posed a series of questions to the leaders of all the political parties in Alberta. We have asked for their party's stance on the following 3 questions related to Catholic education:
1. Does your party support Catholic schools that are publicly funded, by Catholic ratepayers through taxation?
2. If your party forms the next government will you reintroduce Bill 2 in its most current amended form (includes the amendments related to shared facilities and blended boards as introduced in Committee of the Whole)?
2a. If Bill 2 is reintroduced, will your party remove section 16, pertaining to the Human Rights Code, of the Bill?
These are the responses we have received thus far...

A new addition to the Alberta Legislature recognizes the courageous and intrepid religious women who helped to found the province, providing health care, education and social services to pioneer communities. A bronze monument unveiled today honours all the congregations of Sisters who served across the province and celebrates their legacy of care and compassion carried on by others today.
