Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Moses.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and that was funding that we got from the federal government for the heavy equipment operator's facility in Fort Smith. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister Moses. Ms. Green.
No further questions. Thank you.
Mr. O'Reilly.
Thanks, Mr. Chair. On the same page 28, the general revenues there, it is care and storage of Government of Nunavut Museum and Archive Collection, and I know I heard the Minister say earlier that all those artifacts and archival documents and so on are, you know, out of here. So this leaves our museum, though, with not as much revenue. Can the Minister confirm that the museum is still fully funded, that there have been no cuts made at the Prince of Wales and Northern Heritage Centre? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Moses.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The previous year's funding under the care and storage for the Government of Nunavut Museum, that was funding specifically for positions to take care of the artifacts and the archives for the materials from Government of Nunavut.
Thank you, Minister Moses. Mr. O'Reilly.
Thanks. I guess I was not clear on enough, Mr. Chair, with regard to my question. So if the loss of this revenue, though, I understand there might be a staff reduction related to it, can the Minister confirm that there have been no other reductions made to the Prince of Wales and Northern Heritage Centre?
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Moses.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and this revenue, as I mentioned, was specific for those positions. They were terms positions as well, so those definitely have an effect, and we are still funding the museum. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister Moses. Mr. O'Reilly.
Thanks, Mr. Chair. I realize I am probably the only person who is probably standing between us in getting out of here, but can the Minister tell me: is the museum still being funded at the same level in this year's budget as it was last year minus this money that came in from the Government of Nunavut? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Moses.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes.
Thank you, Minister Moses. Any further questions, Mr. O'Reilly? Any further questions or comments on these information items? If not, let us turn to page 27. Education, Culture and Employment, total department, $314,879,000. Does committee agree? Mr. Beaulieu.
