This is a really important part in community governments, especially in small communities. And I know that we're going to a polytechnic university very short in the future and hopefully in the next year or so. I guess I'm kind of wondering what is the oversight on these training programs? Because it's that is really important with the governance within the communities. Many times we run into you always hear on the news that oh, there's been deficiencies and all this in this such and such a community. There's an investigation going on and all these things. And you know, sometimes when you...

Thank you, Madam Chair. On page 356, there's an allocation to the program management of $1,072,000, and the training programs itself is 1.8, $1.83 million.

You know, the allocation of training in that program seems I mean, it takes $1 million of program management for 1.8. The balance doesn't seem quite right. So I was just I just wanted an explanation on why you have to have such a large program management for a course for training programs for $1.8 million. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I also wonder how come we had, in youth centres in 2021 Actuals, we had $30,000 and then nothing for this coming these mains. I'm just wondering, we're always talking about encouraging our youth. We're always talking about the youth are the future generations of leadership. Is there any reason why there was no allocation for youth centres in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a couple of questions. One of them is the $825,000 recreation funding. Is that proposal based or is it per capita based, the funding? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The emergency management with the flooding, you know, the amounts that were allocated, how much of that money of that that was used, the $35,823,000, how much of that was do you have the breakdown of that allocations, Madam Chair, for monies that stayed in the North and the monies that have gone somewhere else? Thank you, Madam Chair.

I too would like to recognize Tony, my friend, born and raised in Fort Smith. And we welcome you back any time that you want to come home.

And I'd also like to recognize another member, Mr. Speaker, and that is Jason Lepine. Jason Lepine was my official agent in my first election for MLA, and is a prominent member of the Metis Nation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I just have a couple of short questions, Madam Chair. On page 58, what is the northern bonus? I'd like the Minister to answer that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, could this also be crossreferenced with the teacher education program? Because it would be nice that the teachers that would graduate from the teacher education program also have access to some of the courses that would be offered in the language translator course. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Further to that answer, I still feel that, you know, we pay a lot of money to locums that are not they're not guaranteed residents of the Northwest Territories. Every community does. And when we have someone who is of Indigenous descent and who is a Metis person and going in to be a I don't know if she she is going to graduate, with honors from the University of Saskatchewan, and is going to be a surgeon, and who's willing to come here, you're telling me that she has to go get lines of credits that are payable back and yet we're putting all these other students...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to table Sharing Common Ground Review of Yukon's Police Force Final Report on Implementation, May 2014. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
