Yes, I have no problem with that. I was just trying to clarity the Minister's previous statement where he said the authority came from the Minister to the principal, and I think there's a superintendent that fits in the middle there somewhere. I just want to correct the record.

I know a little bit about management. Where do superintendents come in then? II the Minister is giving direction to the principals, where do the superintendents come in?

I'm still confused because 23 says "in accordance with the guidelines established by the principal," then section 69.(2)(1) says, "in accordance with directions of the Minister, establish guidelines." So I want to be really clear here. Who establishes the guidelines to select the student representative, the Minister or the principal?

I would like to go to section (2)(1), in accordance with the Minister to establish guidelines. Under section 23, we give the authority to the principal to set the criteria for selecting the student. Now why are we giving it to the Minister here. Just for clarification.

Just some clarification on 69.(2)(e), perform the prescribed duties relating to monitoring home school programs. I thought those were the duties of the superintendent, or is it still the principal? I would just like some clarification. If we go back to home schooling and the relationship of a principal to a home school program, I thought we removed that responsibility.

I had a comment on clause 63.(1), but I see it's clarified in 63.(8); that principals are allowed to be hired for more than five years. I picked that up, and just wanted to make that comment.

I just want to make a comment. Classroom assistants, as we know them now, are quite useful participants in the education system. Many of them are ones now involved in the TEP program or who are looking at the TEP program somewhere down the line. My concern is that we're not using this clause to eliminate these types of people from the system. You can call them something else, that's fine, but I just wanted to ensure that we still have the equivalent of classroom assistants. Not everyone who enters the TEP program is going to pass, and they still have a lot of experience and provide a lot of value to the system. So, we should have a provision to employ these people. I'm hoping that's what we're doing here.

Is it the intent of clause 62 to remove the terms "classroom assistants?" Is that the intent of this clause, and are they going to then be called education assistants?

I would like some clarification on section 62.(3). Can someone clarify the intent of this clause for me, and what happens at the end of five years?
