Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I mentioned, junior kindergarten is play-based. I don't think they are going to be getting too high into the adding and more concrete education. It is play-based. We do feel that the staff in the schools will be able to work and help out the junior kindergarten as well. As we are doing the rollouts, we are still chatting with the education authorities on how this is going to roll out in their schools. For a little bit more detail, I will ask my deputy minister, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, we don't want to hinder the education of any students who want to go and take postsecondary education or training, focusing on skill development. If that was the case, that we went over budget on this line item, we would probably have to come back to government with a supplementary appropriation so that all students who wanted to take postsecondary have that opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is right. The majority of this funding in adult and post-secondary education does go to the Aurora College. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we will bring that information to committee once it is put together. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and this revenue, as I mentioned, was specific for those positions. They were terms positions as well, so those definitely have an effect, and we are still funding the museum. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

December.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That line item, there is money that was reallocated to the daycares, I believe. I'll go to my deputy minister for a little more clarification.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I believe that is working fine with the federal government, that Members know that levels increased right across Canada this past year; and we did also receive an update that our levels have increased here in the Northwest Territories as well by about 100 extra nominees. Our levels have increased, so it is good for the territory, good for industry, good for business, and our communities as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, typically this is the amount of funding that we give to Skills Canada. We've seen some very excellent results out of that, apprentices, people getting into the trades that they wanted to work in that have gone through NWT Skills Canada. Currently, I'm not sure if there's any other funding within the department that they might be able to access, but that's something that we can look into as we continue to work with Skills Canada. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is one position that was in Inuvik. It was the coordinator of oil and gas. Then there were two positions in Fort Smith. One was the library and reprography assistant, and the other was the manager of program development and evaluation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
