the minister would hc strongly urged to take posi tion on this issue Doug Penny assistant deputy ministcr said She could be forccd to take position he added The board has decided against building separate and distinct secondary school for the French students of Penetanguishene but will discuss the issue further June 13 before submitting its final position to Dr Bette Stcphcn son Ontarios
