Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 56)

The deputy minister had mentioned there will be no compensation. I think some of the incentives would be for the teachers to be able to get some planning done, assess what is going on in the classrooms, as well as the professional development side will be able to get some of the teachers to participate in professional development. These are decisions that are going to be made by the schools. I am sure all these things are being brought up as the schools are developing their instructional hours, plans. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and it has become a line item in these main estimates so it will be ongoing pending that we do get the uptake and that we do get our employers, our industry, business working with the department as well as our Aboriginal governments utilizing this pot of funding. As long as it gets the uptake and moving forward, we can continue to see it as a line item. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
