A supplementary, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have heard much talk over the past few months about the problems in our education system, particularly the high dropout rates, low graduation rates, at cetera. I cannot understand, Mr. Speaker, why this government would accept a proposal to shorten the school year from 190 days to 187.5 days for the upcoming year. They should have added on to the tail end of the school year, but it looks like they are not considering that. Could the Minister give me a better explanation as to why we are shortening the school year from 190 to 187.5 days?
