Now those four recommendations which would give us that panty are missing from the final report and many separate school boards will passively accept it. "Now is the time to stop being nice. I don‘t buy that the ministry will be addressing our four recommendations later, if we don‘t ask for it. The Catholic community is not asking for aid, it is asking for recognition for its Grade 9 and 10 students," he said. In making his comments about the ROSE report, the director complemented the ministry of education on doing, "a beautiful job." _ â€" ""Who could bailance it better.
