Mr. Speaker, I have been informed that the teachers voted against a proposal for a negotiated collective agreement. The proposal was outlined in a memorandum of understanding signed off by the negotiators on March 6, 1992.
The president of the Northwest Territories Teachers' Association has requested that our negotiators get back to the bargaining table. He indicated a strong preference for
,negotiated agreement. I have agreed to his request. I feel that a negotiated agreement is in our mutual interest. Thank you.
