Manitoba's opposition leader is the latest critic to come forward against the NDP's anti-bullying bill.

Brian Pallister says Bill 18 is sloppy and vague and he fears it won't protect children from bullying.

He says a clear definition of what is bullying is not in the proposed legislation.

Some religious leaders have come out against the bill because it allows students to organize gay-straight alliance clubs in schools.

Pallister would not say where he stands on that topic – instead, he wants feedback from kids from an online survey his party has set up.

It comes on the same day the province announced a similar survey will be done in 550 schools.
