Listening to Ontario Legislature. @AndreaHorwath noted #covid19 case numbers are over 300. School buses are cancelled because drivers are scared. The Premier said he would spare nothing to ensure September's safe. When will he make good on this promise? #topoli #onted #onpoli

.@AndreaHorwath says experts say 2m of distancing is required to ensure safety. How many students should be on each bus to achieve this? (Norm's note: certainly less than the current full capacity.) #topoli #onpoli #Onted

.@AndreaHorwath noted that each seat on a bus in Ontario had 3 students per seat. How can bus drivers & students stay safe in this situation? #topoli #Onpoli #onted

.@AndreaHorwath says she's shocked as the government did not spend enough to allow students & drivers to physical distance & be safe. Drivers are walking away from the job due to lack of protections. How can the govt tell parents they've spared no expense? #topoli #Onpoli #onted

A school bus driver says "Action is sorely needed to protect drivers and students." Need to work together to establish a safe cap of students and other protections for school bus drivers and students. Will the government listen? #topoli #onpoli #Onted

.@AndreaHorwath notes that the school bus plan released is "no plan at all". Will the government agree to set 50% capacity for school buses? #topoli #onpoli #onted

.@maritstiles up now. Parents are nervous with #covid19 cases on the rise and large class sizes. Why has the government refused to fund smaller safer class sizes so that students can safely Physically Distance? #topoli #onpoli #onted

.@maritstiles notes that the TDSB (Norm's note: and the TCDSB) used their reserves to reduce covid19 hotspot class sizes. Why won't the Ministry fund all boards so they can have safe class sizes across this province? #topoli #onpoli #onted
