“What we’re really looking for is to get a deal in August. So we have eight days; that’s really a long time and plenty of time to get a deal. So we’re really focused on that right now,” Teachers waged a 14-year court battle against changes made by the previous Liberal government that rolled back language on class size and composition. Ultimately, the Supreme Court of Canada sided with the teachers and declared the provisions that existed in 2001 had to be reinstated.That forced the government into a hiring frenzy, with an additional 3,700 teachers hired over two years to meet the reimposed contract language.
Already, the province has injected an extra $1-billion into the education system, the statement said.
