    He says people are calling him saying their children could not get on the bus.

    Education critic Paul Dinn called a media availability yesterday to talk about schools in his district. He says despite the Premier's assertions that the opposition is "playing politics," no one knows what the plan is for schools and this should not be part of an election. Dinn says the Premier announced this week that all children on bus routes will now be permitted to ride the bus. He says people are calling him saying their children could not get on the bus. Dinn says the elimination of the 1.6 kilometre rule for school bus permission is ‘not there yet.”
