the Board hopes it will purchase 27,169
square feet of roofing.
"...we have a total of 1,117,300 square feet
of roof to maintain. If we receive the same
allocation as (we have) in the last two
years, it will take us more than 82 years to
re -do our roofs once. Surely we do not have
to elaborate on this point further," remark-
ed Mr. Jewitt.
Mr. Jewitt also referred back to the
government's class size initiatives.
"We were pleased that the government
recognized the need to reduce the number of
students in grades one, two and three. We
find it absolutely ludicrous, then, that the
government which wants us to achieve class
sizes of twenty pupils says under its capital
grant plan that a board cannot even make a
submission for a building proposal unless
there are more than 35 pupils per
classroom."
RIDDELL'S RESPONSE
In answering the questions raised Mr.
Riddell stated "we all know there are two
sides to every story. I've heard one side and
I'll be looking forward to hearing others.
People are continuously asking for new
hospitals and more roads. The demands be-
ing put on the province for more and more
money are astronomical."
Mr. Riddell assured the board public
school funding has been an issue for
decades, and the premier has stated there is
no intention to fund it at this time.
Additional funding for the board was ad-
dressed by stating funding to individual
boards is based on the tax base of that
board, and the board's ability to raise taxes.
Huron receives 59 per cent of its funding
from • the government while Toronto,
because of its much larger tax base,
receives only one per cent.
"As a government we're 'proud of our

education initiatives since we took office
three years ago. In our first year, we doubl-
ed the amount of money the previous
government had allocated to capital spen-
ding on schools, while in the second year
that figure tripled, and now has quadrupled.
So you can see we're trying," said Mr.
Riddell.
Mr. Riddell also said the government is
aware of the need for pupil places and their
maintenance, and is addressing this issue on
a priority basis.
In closing Mr. Riddell promised to take
the Board's comments back to Queen's
Park, and make them known to Minister of
Education Chris Ward.
