Yes. In my opening comments I made the comment for persons with disabilities and that agreement is for that.

Yes. We can get a legislated proposal done and be ready for the fall.

Yes. All the funding remains the same. Just put into one pot. Makes it much easier to access and apply on that funding. So, yes, it is the same as last year. No reductions.

Yes, that's correct.

Yes. Based on past expenditures this is still higher than what we actually spent last year. If there's more uptake and more clients accessing the program, as a government we could always come back and look for more dollars.

For that question and amount of detail I will go to our deputy minister.

For the minority language education line item, the $2.5 million, that's entirely federal dollars. As I mentioned, our government does top up other programs in French and Aboriginal languages. In terms of percentages with other areas, we can get that information to the Member.

Yes I would.

Yes, that's correct.

There are various areas in terms of the literacy funding. It goes up. We have a bunch of other early childhood programs as well and other healthy children initiatives. I will give it to my DM to get into more detail on that funding and how some of that is allocated. Deputy Minister Stewart.
