00:00The payments for January and February, though they are outstanding, the Division of Education, Skills and Innovation, only received the
00:13invoices for January on the 2nd of March.
00:17After the invoices were received, all the processing took place, the vouchers, it was vouchered and checked, and the funds
00:29have been released already to PTSC.
00:31Mr. Kerr said the issue affecting maxi-taxi drivers has been longstanding, and only on March 2nd, the Division of
00:39Education held a meeting with PTSC.
00:42We discussed, there's a draft MOU that we have already in discussion with PTSC, there's also a draft contract, and
00:51we're trying to work out the fine points in terms of how they will be engaged between both ourselves and
00:57PTSC.
00:58Secretary Kerr is hoping to meet with maxi-taxi drivers as he is awaiting outstanding information from PTSC.
01:05That information, we are to get it by tomorrow, I think, because PTSC had some internal challenges.
01:11It was due more than a week ago.
01:14After we have that information, or after we get that information, the plan is to engage the maxi-taxi association
01:21to let them know what the plan is going forward and what their responsibility will be.
