I wish we had some clean natural gas somewhere near Inuvik we could access. That's not my question, I apologize. It's late, it's been a long week.

I'd like to ask the Minister, the $70,000 for the ARI energy projects. Is that a sunset clause, or are we just done studying wind in Inuvik given the magnitude of our last windmill project up there?

Committee Motion 11-20(1): Tabled Document 93-20(1): 2024-2025 Main Estimates, Deferral of Early Learning – Education, Culture and Employment, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

It's surprising, because when the president of Aurora College sat in front of committee, it certainly was made very clear to us that if there's one thing that they could get to continue would be that $500,000 funding to ensure that program continued on. So I'm a little surprised that it wasn't brought forward to the department as well. The department obviously is aware that they do require that funding for that training, that particular program, to ensure that they can qualify the programs would qualify the insurance requirements to become a polytechnic. So has the department had any...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Minister Cleveland. So just then to confirm, the reduction of $850,000 is not a reduction to the program itself or the services that it offers? It's still going to maintain at the same levels it was maintaining when we spent $850,000 more last year?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, again, like, I appreciate the work that your department's done on this. Again, you know, from all indications from the Children's First Society in Inuvik, you know, they're very appreciative of the work that's been done by you and your department. And that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I want to give you more money. I think you need more money. We need to continue this. We need to make sure that we got it looked after. That's great, that people in public housing can open day homes. I encourage people all the time, hey, if you're at home, open a day home. Hey, it...
