Written Question 16-15(5): GNWT Funding For Literacy Programs

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment:

GNWT funds the Literacy Council about $440,000 this year. Can I request a breakdown of the funding and is it committed on an annual basis?

GNWT provides funds in the excess of $6 million towards literacy programming:

Can I request a breakdown of the funds?

Is the funding committed annually?

Can I get a breakdown of the communities that are benefiting from these funds – which community and how much contributed?

GNWT is providing some core funding to the Literacy Council. How much is our core funding contribution as GNWT?

Mahsi.
