Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The SAMS staff unanimously rejected the proposal of the Beaufort board to allow them to have their time off, but their solution is to spend this $400 so the kids will still get taught. What I want to know, and maybe the Minister could undertake to find it out, is why it is that the staff have turned it down, because they have solved their problem. They can get their time off and the kids would still get taught, and it would only cost $400, so why are the teachers turning it down? That is my simple question, and from what the Minister has told me, he did not know this had happened on Friday -- that it had been rejected. Maybe we could get the answer to that.
