Thank you, Mr. Chair. If it does get maxed out, I guess you could say that is good news because you've got more students taking postsecondary. So even though we don't want to get there, it is great that we do have over 1,200 students right now who we are currently funding. Hopefully, we get more in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes that line item is fully utilized, so there are no dollars left over. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I really don't understand the form of question the Member is trying to ask. We currently fund for college and TEP through our contribution agreements, not through the Student Financial Assistance pot of funding. Maybe the Member can just clarify his question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is something that we could definitely do a presentation with committee when we can find a scheduling time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and just further to Mr. Lovely's comments earlier, we did change it so it would be easier for artists to get the contributions, moving it from the grants down to the contributions. Funding hasn't really changed; we still give strong support there. It's just in terms of how we set up these agreements with northern performers. I'll go to Mr. Lovely for a little bit more clarification on that. Thank you

We do have one family here in Yellowknife right now, and I do believe we have a couple more, a few more actually, that are supposed to be coming into Yellowknife. We do support I believe it is $15,000 per family. We did allocate the $90,000 which has not had full uptake right now. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I mentioned, we do offer a wage subsidy. Under the community initiatives we provide project-based training through partnerships with small community governments and organizations. The training may be formal or on-the-job or a combination of both. Projects are targeted to meet current and future labour force needs and enhance the employability of residents. As I mentioned earlier, we had 200 individuals participate in the training on the job and then 69 through formal training opportunities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In fact, that would be $2.7 million. The other one, the other part of that in that $5.1 million was already in the main estimates, so then, when we made the decision, the $2.7 million would be on top of this, and that would have to come through a supplemental.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course, Aurora College and the Department of ECE take that declaration very seriously, including the respect for and importance of Indigenous knowledge. Aurora College will continue to seek new ways to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, world views, and approaches in all of its programs. All Aurora College programs serve Indigenous learners, not only in social work or the TEP program but through all the programs that it does serve. As well, the department has done a lot of work around residential schooling as well as cultural training for our Northerners but also for...
