How? Simply by sitting on a chair, fully clothed. A chair that does 11,000 kegels for you. We help you regain control so you can live life with freedom and confidence. For many families, the reason that they do estate planning is obviously to have that freedom. It's very important because we're living much longer than we ever have before. You're going to actually be spending more time in your retirement phase of life than you are in your working career. So we suggest to families to plan their estate funding very heavily in the beginning of life in retirement, because this is our life's work and we didn't earn it to leave it behind. We earned it to enjoy it. For more information, join me for our next complimentary seminar. Here's a fresh take. We think burgers taste better when they're made with Canadian beef.

A board has ordered the deportation of the truck driver who caused the deadly humboldt broncos bus crash just over 6 years ago. A semi- collided with the bus carrying a junior hockey team carey -- kiliann 16 people and injuring 13 others. Deportation was expected but as sarah offin reports the driver lawyer is still fighting for him to stay. >> Reporter: it was a tragedy that shook the nation on a rural saskatchewan road 16 lives were suddenly ended. 13 others injured and countless families changed. That includes for jaskirat singh sidhu, the rookie truck driver whose semi collided with the bus carrying the junior hockey team. >> He's dealing with very severe to posttraumatic stress disorder and severe anxiety as it was and now facing having his family broken up is pretty tough to deal with I think. >> Reporter: he moved to canada from india in 2014 as a permanent resident without citizenship. His crime mean his deportation is a foregone conclusion something not all the victim families agree with. >> I don't think it is a necessary step for him or the conclusion to all this. We made our piece with this a long time ago and mr sidhu has done his time. >> Reporter: there is a full range of emotions for the families no processing the moose -- news. >> At this point it's passed me. It's out of my control and he will have to live with the consequence for the rest of his life. >> Reporter: others like the parents of another victim logan boulet say they are thankful for the decision as they continue to believe mr sidhu should be deported from canada saying they are prepared to remain diligent in this belief even as mr sidhu may launch further appeals. But because of the length of sidhu's 8 year sentence he lost his right to appeal at least until a deportation order was granted. >> Now that it has been issued he can apply to get his permanent residents back on compassionate grounds and that is what we will do. >> Reporter: his lawyer says sidhu's son has medical issues that would prevent him moving back to india potentially ripping apart the family of a man some say has suffered enough. 's lawyer says the deportation process could take months or years and a humanitarian appeal like the 1 underway usually takes about 2 at-3 years to process. An ongoing saga that is still far from over. Sarah offin, global news. >> Tracy: a calgary school board is calling out the province over funding it says falls short of meeting the needs of its students. The calgary catholic school district has passed its budget for next year and will be using reserves to cover a $21.5 million shortfall. The district says it is facing a number of financial challenges for significant enrolment growth and rising costs but by using its savings to balance the budget officials say students will continue to receive high-quality education. The district says it will continue to add teachers and education assistance to classrooms and invest in technology but board chair shannon cook calls the provincial funding model problematic, saying the amount they receive per student has essentially not increased in the past 6 years. >> This was a tough budget. The problem is next year might be tougher. So things like classroom sizes. We haven't touched classroom sizes. Will we have to look at that next year if we don't get additional funding? We may have to get a look at that next year if we don't get additional funding. >> Tracy: earlier this week the calgary board of education released its budget report saying it would need to use roughly $2.6 million of reserves
