Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, that is funding that was awarded to the Gordan Foundation. And treaty simulations are an experience that allow participants to negotiate and implement treaties firsthand to -- sorry, to understand what it would be like to do that and to participate in that. And so they're learning from treaty experts, making new connections. It's often youth working together. So it was a grant afforded to Gordan Foundation to be able to carry out this work. Thank you.

Sure, Mr. Chair, whatever works best for you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, you see quite a large difference here, and what is it is there's a sunset of the education renewal and innovation ERI funding. There's also -- we used to do training where we would fly classroom assistants from small communities into Yellowknife to do training together. And what we learned from education bodies is that was very disruptive to the students that they were, in fact, supporting in the classroom so we switched to a virtual model. We also have -- sorry, just quickly looking here.

Oh, sorry, we also do have the mental health and wellness...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have the Northwest Territories Early Childhood Association which is made up of both daycares and day homes and their representatives which is in constant contact with ECE.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we were certainly looking for all opportunities to support new childcare spaces within the territory. At this time I know that, for example, Norman Wells is looking at a new space, and they've been very active in conversations with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment; and in addition, Industry, Tourism and Investment is kind of all hands on deck to see how we can support that understanding how critically important these new spaces are to parents across the territory. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I might need to follow up unless -- we will follow up with the Member on that one, and we will have to bring back that information. Thank you.

Yes, please, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I've certainly heard the Member. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that's manager of capital planning. It came with the ELC agreement with Canada, so it's fully funded and is to help us be able to distribute the funds through our infrastructure fund that we received from the Government of Canada. And it is a term position. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the school year ends in June but, of course, it takes time for schools to be able to compile data. They've got a lot of data that we are starting to share now. And so we're looking at working towards early next school year for that type of baseline. Thank you.
