Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Clause 53 to basically clause 57 is all with respect to the ability to transfer teachers, the ability to discipline teachers, et cetera. With regard to clause 53(2), on termination notice, the clause indicates that it be given 60 days before the day set as the closing day of the school. So 60 days prior to the closing of a school, that termination notice has to be given.
There has been concern with respect to the board's ability to transfer within jurisdiction because of the time frame, and it appeared that 60 days did not seem to give reasonable time or reasonable notice. I am wondering whether or not I can get some comment on that.
I know from the perspective of the South Slave divisional board that this type of notice should be given a little bit more than what was initially proposed. I am just trying to go back to the initial proposal which was at least 60 days. It hasn't been amended in any way throughout this amended act. Is there a method that can address this, giving reasonable notice?
