The Manitoba Teachers Society heard that federal grants to education should not surrender local control. Jim Killeen of Vancouver, president of the Canadian Teachers Federation, argued a federal office would help equalize education quality across districts. He criticized using the British North America Act as an excuse to avoid higher costs and urged over $1 billion for post secondary education. Reduction in class size was highlighted as essential to treating children as individuals.
