My information and my understanding of what is going on might be a little different from that of the Member for Yellowknife Centre. My understanding is that it is teaching staff who are requesting two and a half days; the teachers are asking for two and a half in-service training days. It is the educational council of Inuvik who is turning down the request from the teaching staff, for the reason that they do not want to see kids not attending school for an additional two and a half days. They tell me that is the main reason as to why they are turning it down. It is not the staff; it is the education council.
