ONTARIO GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES BILL 33, CONCERNS RAISED
On May 29, the Ontario government introduced Bill 33 to legislation.
The Bill offers more power to the premier’s office over school boards while tightening oversight of children’s aid societies, colleges and universities.
The Supporting Children and Students Act, 2025, Bill 33, would amend four major laws—including the Education Act and the Child, Youth and Family Services Act.
First, Bill 33 introduces new administrative and fiscal oversight measures for children’s aid societies, such as providing information about the Ombudsman to children and youth, reviewing by-laws and making them available to the public, obtaining ministerial approval for financial decisions that impact approved budgets, and expanding the definition of “institution” to include maternity homes.
It also makes changes to the residing Education Act, where there will be more ministerial oversight and new cooperation requirements for Ontario school boards, with requirements such as: submitting to increased ministerial authority, where the education minister has more supremacy to investigate school boards, issue binding directives to the public and establish guidelines on board expenses.
Other requirements include obtaining ministerial approval for the name of a new school or changing the name of an existing school, collaborating with police services on school programming, and implementing internal audits conducted by the ministry to enhance financial accountability.
Scott Miller, director of education for the Waterloo Region District School Board, said the board will continue to work with local police and the community if the legislation passes.
“The Waterloo Region District School Board [WRDSB] prioritizes safe, inclusive and welcoming learning environments for all students,” Miller said. “As a school board, we work closely with the Waterloo Regional Police Service [WRPS] to support the safety and well-being of WRDSB school communities. Bill 33 is still under review but if the bill is passed, we will continue to engage thoughtfully with our community partners, staff, students, parents and families to ensure decisions reflect the needs and values of WRDSB school communities.”
Beyond K-12 schools, the bill also targets Ontario’s colleges and universities.
The Bill amends the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities Act, focusing on admissions practices, research security and fee regulations. They plan to implement publicly accessible, merit-based admission standards, with details to be defined through regulation, develop and implement research security plans to safeguard and mitigate the risk of harm to or interference with research activities, and comply with government regulations regarding ancillary student fees, which may restrict fee structures and affect funding for student services.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities also received a new name: the Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. This change, along with the new requirements for colleges and universities to develop and implement research security plans, reflects heightened governmental focus on research security.
“At this point, the university, along with our Ontario post-secondary education peers, is closely monitoring the legislative discussion of the proposed Bill 33 and its potential impacts on universities,” Aonghus Kealy, Communications and Media Relations Officer at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) said.
Bruce Gillespie, President of the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA), emphasized that there are more risks involved in this bill than benefits.
“It centralizes control over admissions, enables ministerial directives for research security, and broadens authority over student fees,” Gillespie said. “Universities already publish admission standards and safeguard research; layering new directives and fee controls adds red tape and cost without fixing chronic underfunding.”
He added that the bill will burden staff and students at post-secondary institutions such as WLU.
“It increases compliance workload and puts student-funded services at risk, while the real issue-operating funding—goes unaddressed,” Gillespie said.
He also explains that if provincial rules destabilize student-funded services (from peer supports to transit and campus media), the unmet need doesn’t disappear; it shows up in classrooms and office hours. Faculty across ranks, and especially contract faculty, will end up doing more informal advising, crisis triage and support with fewer resources.
Gillespie said he opposed the bill, arguing it undermines the autonomy of admissions and fees, risks weakening equity initiatives, and expands oversight that bypasses normal scrutiny, without improving teaching, research, or student supports. He hopes that Bill 33 will either remove or substantially amend the bill to protect equity-based admissions in statute, avoid fee controls that destabilize student services, and provide transparent, consultative research-security guidance.
“On governance, the province should explicitly preserve Senate authority over academic matters and commit to meaningful consultation with students, not just anonymous surveys,” Gillespie said.
As Bill 33 moves through legislative debate, its impact on Ontario’s education and child welfare systems remains a central concern for educators, administrators and policymakers alike.

@the5thColumnist Entirely by design by #dougford
The longer Doug has time to put his foot in his mouth, the more votes OPC loses.
The longer people have to review #Green, #NDP or #OLP platforms and do research, the more votes OPC lose.
The longer people have time to think of, or are shown critical OPC failures and scandelous shenanigans, the more #votes OPC loses.
And winter disenfranches non-conservative urban voters.
The more people learn about #StrategicVoting the more votes OPC loses. -
On January 20/2025 the world changed.
From the sociopolitical perspective, what seemed to be an "us vs. them" world, with free democracies on the 'us' side and everybody else under the 'them' banner ...
Then, on Jan 20, Donnie started unleashing his #trumptantrums on the world as well as the American people. Hard to believe that a person with no concept of reality was given all that power - again.
The world is now fractured more than ever before, and all the 'us's aren't who we thought they were. As for the American people, well, we'll have to wait and see how long they'll tolerate the abuse of power ...
Meanwhile, Ontario's delusional #DougFord thinks he's "For the People" and the guy to "Protect Ontario" - so lets call an unnecessary election.
Hello? Doug?
It's a federal matter.
Work with Ottawa.We've observed the #Ontario #Conservative government's track record for the last 7 years, and there is no denying that they're a serious liability to the people of the province on virtually every front. The Con MPPs vote the party line - not what's best for their constituents.
Vote at an advanced poll.
or
Vote on election day.
just
Vote - it's our responsibility. -
@EricLawton #DougFord is an ex-drug dealing high school graduate with no higher education. What did we expect? 57% decided it wasn’t important to vote so they let 18% give Doug Ford a majority government. And then Ontario complained about the #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada? It’s hard to be sympathetic. We gave Doug & his minions power over us. Maybe in the next election, all voters will choose to vote. #DerelictionOfDuty #BreachOfTrust #NakedAbuseOfPower

@EricLawton #DougFord is a buffoon who achieved power b/c 57% of eligible voters chose not to vote so the #CorruptFordGovernment claimed a majority. His MO has been #CriminalDerelictionOfDuty #NakedAbuseOfPower and total disregard for the people he was elected to serve while #FordGovernmentCriminals indulged in #FordGovernmentLies #FordGovernmentCronysm #FordGovernmentPatronage and #FordGovernmentNepotism. The most corrupt govt in the history of Canada acts with complete impunity.
