Wooden for students to bring coat hangers to school for use in the welding shop made its way to the Ontario Legislature. Carleton East NDP member E. Gigantes used the situation to question the government’s funding of education. The debate carried in the November 20 issue of Hansard was as follows: Ms. Gigantes: I have a question for the Minister of Education, Is the minister aware the principal of South Huron District High School school request has had to use the Intercom system in that school to appeal for students to bring wire coat hangers to school so students in the welding shop would have material to weld? Hon. Miss Stephenson: No, Mr. Speaker, I had not heard that. Mr. Roy: How about hair­ pins? Mr. S. Smith: That’s a hangup they have there. (3:00) Ms. Gigantes: I could suggest that she ask her parliamentary assistant. He knows about it. Will she launch a review of the ade­ quacy of materials and the need for new equipment in shop courses and high schools across the province, to ensure that the promise of the government’s public commitment to technical training is not undercut by the reality of inadequate provincial funding from her ministry? Mr. Nixon: Don’t get hung up. Hon. Miss Stephenson: Mr. Speaker, that investigation has already been launched. Ms. Gigantes: Has the minister got any answers? Hon. Miss Stephenson: Not yet.
