Nothing further, Mr. Chair. I'm really glad to hear that; that's good news. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll ask that question again. Yes, I understand this is the early learning section of the schools. Is there any plans to increase the early learning sections of these schools in these two particular regions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have got nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's on page 34. There's a Partnership Initiative Agreement - North Slave Regional Training Partnership, and it makes reference to a three-year project with ISC, and I'm just wondering if there's any more of these agreements with that particular Indigenous Services Canada department. If so, if that information could be provided. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for acknowledging that we're open for advancing forward on a model designed by community participation.

My third question there, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister commit to asking the Aurora board to consider reassigning the current full-time community adult educators who previously taught at community learning centres, or CLCs, in small communities? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, further to my statement.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister advise whether the Department of ECE or the Aurora College board has considered a partnership with the department of MACA school of community government to broaden training? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to recognize Brenda T'seleie-Pierrot, the safe home worker in Fort Good Hope. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In this area of the estimates we're talking about, the children, can the Minister expand on the upcoming year and the school food program that is being planned, maybe explain a little bit more information on the new fiscal year food program for the schools? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm looking at the active positions page there. When I look at the Sahtu and the Deh Cho, together these two regions make up one-third of the territorial communities and we've only allowed, for the last couple of years, one position. So I'm just wondering with the amount of schools in these two regions is there any future plans to expand on the personnel or staff in those two areas? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My next question is I recall in the last Assembly there was quite a number of contributions made by Skills Canada for specific projects accessed by a number of Indigenous governments, and I'm just wondering if Skills Canada still exists, and if so, if there's any access to capital there from this government through different education initiatives, training initiatives? But I'm really not too sure if Skills Canada still exists; I'm just curious if the Minister has any knowledge on the existence of Skills Canada. Thank you.
