Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my Member's statement, I want to recognize the recruitment drive that the Department of Education has undertaken across Canada to recruit teachers for our education system. It has been brought to my attention in light of that recruitment drive, that we do have some teachers working as SNAs in our education system right now who are actually qualified teachers but are experiencing some difficulty when it comes to applying on jobs. In some cases, they do not even get an interview.

I was wondering if the Minster could inform the House if he is aware of how many teachers we have in this position who are working as SNAs yet are designated teachers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
