A supplementary, Mr. Speaker. I realize that the total days in the school calendar year is 190 days, but the point I am trying to make is that the actual days of teaching students has been reduced by 2.5 days. The Dogrib divisional board has raised that concern with me asking why our government taking out the 2.5 days at the expense of our students. Here we are decreasing their learning time by 2.5 days. That is the question I was trying to get across to my colleague. If they were going to give them 2.5 days for administrative duties, why did they not add 2.5 days to the school year rather than reducing the actual teaching of the kids by 2.5 days?
