Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chair. At the time we were doing the business plans, we had also given some direction to the Aurora College to look for reductions. So at that time, during business plan review, we weren't exactly sure what the Aurora College was going to be doing or coming back in working with the department. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, it is $928,000 that is targeted for wage subsidies. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Member has noted, we have to see what that strategic plan looks like. Only then will we know what kind of space we need, what kind of classrooms we are going to be needing, and where we can provide some of the programs that it is going to entail, what is going to come out of that strategic plan. Until then, we can't really do any kind of work in the stand-alone campus and looking at what we already have for our resources. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, I can get the department to get that information and share it with the Member.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. When the main estimates were printed, we didn't make that decision on the $5.1 million, so it is not reflective in here. That money will come through a supplemental since the decision was made. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually our goal for the last fiscal year was at 80 and we got above that, so we are just making it reflective of the number of applications we are getting, and it will change from year to year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes it was evidence based. We looked at the history of the enrolments in the two programs, as well as the graduation rates of the students who completed the program, and took into account the investment that we put into those two particular programs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is part of the criteria when we look at applications coming forward. We obviously want to get our residents in long-term employment when we look at some of these projects moving forward, giving them the skills and the training that they need so they can become employable in the communities, or as I mentioned, work for one of the mining companies or find jobs elsewhere in the North. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Currently, all the education authorities are working on the roll-out plan for junior kindergarten moving forward. I want to just emphasize again that junior kindergarten is a play-based approach, and I think that students who have gone through it already that we've seen, we've seen some really excellent improvements in the development's readiness. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you. There is an increase of $200 million that we are projecting for this year. At this time, we don't have the number of clients. Sorry, projected number of distinct cases, 3,420. For 2016-17, we don't have those numbers, thank you, Mr. Chair.
