New Petitions
Education (Kindergarten Stage) (PE2195)
Thank you. It is an interesting concept, but again it is one that would need far more time—even then, I suspect that such a petition would probably be referred to the education committee in due course. Nonetheless, it could be the subject of some preliminary work by a subsequent committee of this Parliament in the next session. Again, it is worth advocating that the petition be resubmitted when Parliament resumes.
Members indicated agreement.
