And again, this would have been an easy debate to dodge. Simply exclude that change from the reversions of NDP policy and you don't even start a political issue about this. Given that reality, it appears to be a deliberate provocation.
It's more about eliminating the ability of the government to defund religious schools under Bill 24, and it's impossible to cancel only a portion of a bill.

As I'm sure you're aware this bill is currently being challenged in court anyways, so there exists the potential for this bill to be struck down.

You're probably right that the correct political move would have been to not say anything and then make changes after winning the election (a la NDP).
