The Minister has indicated he didn’t hear of this before, and perhaps I should have drawn this to his attention in a less public way, but I understand this has been a situation that has been ongoing for volunteers and coaches who are teachers for some time now, so I thought perhaps there would have been other incidents like this raised.

I want to reiterate that I’m not finding any fault. Teachers don’t like to complain, and this teacher is not finding any fault with the people who are his superiors. What he is saying, and what I’m saying, is that we need a more flexible policy. I’d like to ask the Minister how will he – I know he’s going to consult with the Minister of HR because it is the HR Manual that needs to be talked about here – engage school authorities at the superintendent level or at the DEA level to make sure that there is support for a change like this.
