Minister’s Statement 36-16(2) Northwest Territories Teachers’ Association Tentative Agreement

Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to announce that the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Northwest Territories Teachers’ Association have reached a tentative four-year collective agreement.

The negotiations began in April 2008 and were concluded last week. The meetings were positive, and both parties are pleased with the agreement.

This agreement makes a number of important changes that assist us in improving overall administration. Ratification of the tentative agreement is recommended, and the process will be concluded by June 16, 2008.

Speaker: Mr. Speaker

Ministers’ statements, the Hon. Bob McLeod.
