Quebec Liberals is calling for the resignation of Jean-François Roberge as the province’s education minister.Dominique Anglade said Thursday she believes that Roberge lied to Quebecers when he claimed to have public health’s approval for carbon dioxide (CO2) tests in schools.The issue of air quality in classrooms has been a hot topic during the pandemic in Quebec.
In November, a study found classrooms showed significant ventilation problems and CO2 levels above acceptable levels, which could favour the transmission of COVID-19.A report commissioned by Roberge, however, found that school service centres and school boards have taken the appropriate measures to ensure indoor air quality.
