Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like the Member, I am very anxious to see the resolution of this problem in Inuvik. I have instructed my officials to seek solutions to this problem and ask them to work with the divisional boards. I am told that a meeting of the divisional board will take place on Wednesday and this topic will be discussed. In the Education Act it says that the school year shall be in session 190 days and the academic year has to be approved by the Minister, in consultation with the local education authorities. As a result, any changes to the academic year would have to be requested by the local education authority and approved by the Minister. So far, I have not received any requests from the divisional board or local education authority. I would expect that if the divisional board approves or supports the teachers, soon after they meet on Wednesday I will be getting a request. Thank you.
