The legislation would transform Canada Christian College into a university and allow it to grant bachelor of science and arts degrees. Ford shifted his language on Thursday and said the college "is going to go through the process and we'll see what happens." "Why, in the name of all that is decent, would this minister validate the hateful, vicious, racist and homophobic rhetoric of Charles McVety by extending the reach of his Canada Christian College?" Canada Christian College currently has the legal authority to grant degrees only in such fields as theology, religious education and Christian counselling. The college has applied to Ontario's Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board to change its name to Canada University and School of Graduate Theological Studies and to create new degree programs.
