 Hi, I'm Premier Christy Clark. Contract negotiations and labor disputes can be really challenging, but when it directly affects our kids, I think we need to take a step back and find a better way. That's why last fall I asked Education Minister Don McCrae to reach out to our education partners and chart a new path for our kids. This week I was pleased to announce our proposed framework to reach a 10-year deal with teachers. We're calling for long-term stability for students, for families and for classroom teachers. Think about every child in grade 2 today. We need to work together to make sure those children can graduate from high school without losing a single day of their education to a labor dispute. I know we all want that. We owe this to our children. Their learning shouldn't be compromised by the inability of adults to reach agreements. We owe this to teachers. They've chosen to dedicate themselves to teaching our kids and preparing them for their own futures. It's a noble calling, and it shouldn't be tainted by needless conflict. We owe it to parents. We can't let them down. Together we can reach an agreement that works for everyone. For teachers, for parents, and especially for students. Together we can ensure that the path to securing the highest student achievement is free of labor disputes for the next 10 years.
