Subject: constitutionally required to fully fund the Roman Catholic separate school system

As you may know, the Ontario provincial government is constitutionally required to fully fund the Roman Catholic separate school system. Faith-based schools associated with other religions do not receive public funding, and are only partially subject to the standards of the public education system if they grant provincially-accredited secondary school diplomas.

If elected, John Tory's Progressive Conservatives have promised to extend full funding to these non-Catholic faith-based schools as long as they teach the Ontario curriculum, only hire fully-qualified Ontario teachers, and agree to ongoing student testing and inspections by the province.

Which of the following views on this proposal best represent your own?

Please select one response only.

	I oppose this proposal – The costs of doing this would remove too much money from secular public schools, and it will result in a society segregated by religion.
	I support this proposal – It eliminates the unfair practice of only funding Catholic schools, and it encourages other faith-based schools to adopt Ontario's public school standards and curriculum.
