Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education. Our government has recently reached a contract agreement with the NWT Teachers' Association on a new contract. This agreement included a proposal by the Teachers' Association that would reduce the length of the school year by 2.5 days in order to allow staff to complete duties of an administrative nature. Could the Minister please inform me why they would accept such a proposal without consulting the NWT Trustee Association or divisional boards of education?
