In a recent Calgary Herald Article, "Tory leadership candidates slam Stelmach government," PC leadership contenders spoke out about education funding shortfalls. Five of the six candidates are quoted as saying that the current level of government funding is not adequate and are calling for increased investment in education.
CAPSC has sent questionnaires to all the PC leadership candidates and to date we have received three responses from Doug Griffiths, Gary Mar and Alison Redford.
Save Our Fine Arts (SOFA) also has questionnaire and candidate responses posted on their website.
Education platforms for each of the leadership candidates:
Alison Redford: Education funding, K to 12 Education, Website
Rick Orman: Issues, Website
Ted Morton: Website
Gary Mar: K to 12 Education Policy, Website
Doug Horner: Policy Framework - Education, Website
Doug Griffiths: Education Policy, Website
The first ballot for the PC leadership takes place Saturday, September 17 and if needed a second ballot is scheduled for Saturday, October 1.
