Alberta MLA’s back to work for fall session

On Tuesday, the Alberta government begins its third attempt to pass an overhaul of legislation for grade schools.

It’s one of 10 bills on the order paper as Premier Alison Redford and her Tories reconvene the fall sitting of the Legislature.

Government House leader Dave Hancock says the new education act will be the first out of the blocks.

It failed to pass earlier this year after coming under heavy criticism from home-schoolers because of a clause mandating that all instruction follow the Alberta Human Rights Act.

Hancock says the bill has been revised to clarify that section.
