Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I made an effort to improve Bill 16 to benefit both students and teachers by aligning the mandatory minimum instructional hours with Alberta while reducing the current instructional hours at the high school level by 45 hours. I was unsuccessful in that effort, and I can't support Bill 16 in its current form, so I will be abstaining in this vote. Mahsi.
Masi. To the motion. Question has been called. All those in favour, please stand.
