Whereas section 3.06(d) of the Bylaws of the Ontario College of Teachers states: 'a Council meeting may only consider motions, which the members of Council agree to consider by a two-thirds vote of those in attendance', it was agreed that Council consider the following Laframboise/Adam motion:
That Council recommend that the Minister of Education immediately review the legislation or regulation that permits the granting of an interim certificate of qualification (provisional) to applicants from outside the province but that does not permit the granting of a similar certificate to successful graduates of Ontario at accredited Faculties of Education who do not pass the Qualifying Test.
