responsible for Employ and Immigration for Canada aware of their objections to this teacher payment Burlington trustee Elaine said this man actions puts the entire program in serious jeopardy Trustees voted unanimously to support Elgin stand In a trustee notice of motion later in the meeting Crazier proposed that approval of new entrants into the deferred leave plan be withheld until the question of teachers being able to collect benefits while on leave is resolved and that the plan be cancelled if it is ruled that the teacher can collect benefits This wilt be dealt with at a later meeting
