Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce says a teacher’s threatened strike would be unfair to students.

“Ontario students are relying on all of us—teacher unions, school boards & government—to put their interests first and that starts with students staying in class from September to June,” said the minister in a statement on Aug. 14.
