It does work on behalf of all the communities in the Northwest Territories, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. All of the funding in those programs are in the regions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It’s not core funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The first one was funding received for the Canadian Arctic Research Station. The second, INAC one, was funding received under the Strategic Investment and Northern Economic Development Program for geoscience research projects, and the third one is Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada funding received for the Canol Trail Wire Clean-up. I don’t think the CHARS project is finished yet, so there may be some funding identified there. The SINED had money. We have applied, it’s application-based, and that’s generally applied through CanNor. Also, the Canol Trail Wire Clean-up...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would refer the Member to our grants and contributions annual report. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes. Yes, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. NFTI did receive funding. The federal government provided $2 million in funding through CanNor to undertake this project, and ITI contributed $200,000. In addition to this funding, ITI has provided another $120,000 in Growing Forward 2 and SEED funding directly to NFTI since 2014. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is an area where we work with industry and also the communities and we provide a liaison function and also I guess a navigator kind of role I would think. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, there is an annual plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I said, the sunset clause has been extended to 2022. It was also looking at other opportunities for Aboriginal equity participation. We believe that is still an opportunity so that is why we are contributing a lesser amount of $100,000 per year. Others are contributing as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
