Thank you, Mr. Chair. This isn't actually a contract arrangement. This is a right negotiated by the Teachers' Association on behalf of its members. Teachers' associations across the country take great pride in negotiating provisions like this, where they have control, more direct control, over supporting their members to advance their education. The pay grids for teachers are linked very closely to educational attainment. The higher education a teacher has, the higher pay they receive, so these things are kind of connected. The Teachers' Association manages these funds on their own, and are provided them as per the collective agreement. We don't contract with them for this. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
