I move amendment No. 32:

In page 18, subsection (1), between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following paragraph:

"(a) the failure to include any particular action or service in an education plan, or".

Section 12 is restrictively phrased. Parents can appeal the description of their child's needs or the failure to carry out actions specified in the plan but not the question of whether the action specified in the plan is adequate to meet the needs described in it. Is that a deliberate omission?
