The report card compares 3030 primary schools in Ontario on a scale of 1 to 10. The Fraser Institute uses figures compiled by the Education Quality and Accountability Of- fice.

Fraser Institute report card L’ORIGNAL | The court case against three members of Clarence-Rockland coun- cil will continue to dog them during this year’s election campaign. Crown counsel and defence counsel for Mayor Marcel Guibord, Councillors Diane Choinère and Guy Félio, and local business- man and lawyer, Stéphane J. Lalonde met Feb. 4 for an in-camera pre-trial conference at the L’Orignal provincial courthouse. Details of the pre-trial conference are not available but general practice is for Crown and defence lawyers to review and dis- cuss any outstanding disclosure issues and other matters before the next stage in the court process. The pre-trial conference is scheduled for another in-camera session on March 18. All four are charged with breach of trust. Lalonde is also charged with counselling to commit breach of trust. The charges re- sulted from an OPP investigation of a series of emails exchanged between the four fol- lowing the 2010 civic election. The subject of many of the emails concerned Daniel Ga- tien, who was the city director at the time. Gatien also had a defamation lawsuit in process against Lalonde at the time regard- ing comments in The Musketeer Journal. Lalonde was a partner in and frequent con- tributor to the magazine at the time. While no longer city director, Gatien is continuing to pursue his defamation suit. Lalonde was also a business partner of the mayor in 2010 through joint ownership with another person of a piece of property. Following the election that year the mayor sold out his interest in the property. Council court case continues
