Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is a phase 2 reduction of $925,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If you look in the grants and contribution report, we reported on the results for 20162017, and, if you go to page 45, it will have everything listed there. We have expenditures and results for the NWT and Nunavut Chamber of Mines.

I will take it as a comment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We support the arts through -- so the Member knows, on page 215, the economic diversification line, the $3,396,000, and also through the SEED program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Five employers have indicated a commitment or a strong interest in offering traineeships to seven students going forward. I will have to find out if this has been rolled out yet and see what the uptake is going to be on it, thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'll get back to the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That money is split up between core funding and marketing, and, if you look in a reference to the grants and contribution book again as well page 31, for 2016-2017, page 31 and 32 will lay out exactly where most of that money went. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The French language services goes through ECE, so that question would have to be directed to that department if they are going to continue to pursue that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, the Member asked us some of these questions in the House. First of all, this program is not very old. It's only been around since 2015, and I get the Member's point on how do we track and make this even a better program, considering some of the successes that we've had with some of the other stuff that ITI has done. We're working on a few different things. As I've said in the House, we launched a new website. Going forward, we've tried to streamline and simplify our process to make the process more clear and more userfriendly going forward. We're getting information...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If they were to send me a request, we would have to take it into consideration, and then we could put it in our next budget. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That was the bid deposit stuff from the Sahtu that was forfeited. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
