Thank you, Mr. Chair. Each education authority knows their operations' needs, what their operations have consisted of historically. They have always made those decisions. They understand the back-and-forth with the department in terms of budgets, the decisions that they have to make. That is why they have an elected board for the oversight. It has always been like that. They have always had to make the decisions, whether it was a tough decision or not. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe it is 100, and I am pretty sure that we are going to go above and beyond that again if we get the same applications that we did this past year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and we are currently working on an overarching post-secondary legislation that would give the Dechinta and College nordique an opportunity to possibly seek those fundings, and we do provide letters of support as well when they are lobbying the federal government for their programs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

As I mentioned earlier, community initiative projects, we work with small community governments as well as organizations to target employers to employ some of our residents. There is a focus on youth with that one. We have some good examples. In the Fort Good Hope, we were able to do a summer job training with, I think, eight youth. In Lutselk'e, we have the harbour project as well. That is work with different organizations moving forward. We want to build and develop those partnerships and support organizations as well as Aboriginal governments to provide training and projects so that our...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I mentioned with questions in the House regarding this, students who are entering junior kindergarten will have access to all the supports and resources in the school setting. So at this time, we're just going to continue with the funding for inclusive schooling the way it is, but junior kindergarten students who are in the school system will have access to more resources, more teachers, moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to clarify this, the funding to the libraries is not affected. It is something that some of the operations within our own department, we made those reductions. You can rest assured that the public libraries did not see any funding affected.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We don't know what the full guidelines are on this new pot of funding that we did get that was announced in the Budget Address and we're still working on that as it's a significant increase to the Small Community Employment Program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As mentioned when Mr. Lovely had explained some of the reductions that were going on this year with the college, those were the ones that were identified, and then for the future years to come. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My deputy minister outlined some of the reductions we are doing this year, and that is all relevant to that reduction in that line item. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

As I mentioned, I know the Aurora College does have a good support staff to help their students graduate in whatever program that they are currently enrolled in. We can take a look and see why students weren't graduating from the social work program or the TEP program as well, and what the successes we have down south are in terms of the 19 students who are going to school down south. We can take a look into it, and definitely with the Aurora College strategic plan and review coming into place, or the strategic plan, hopefully we'll have some good outcomes of that and get better supports for...
