Mahsi. Ms. Nokleby.
Thank you. And yeah, I also cannot say enough good things about the Mine Training Society, particularly in how a lot of their course work or options or training is free. They do a lot of training around community members and repurposing or re I don't know what the word is reorienting people in their professional path that have come out of other areas that are maybe not so prosperous at the moment.
Can the Minister or the deputy minister or Ms. Salvador speak about where the money for the Mine Training Society would fall in these contributions and do we actually, in fact, other than on a project basis, do we provide any funding to the Mine Training Society? Thank you.
Mahsi. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Let me direct that to the deputy, please.
Deputy minister.
Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. So the Mine Training Society, we don't provide funding to them on an ongoing basis. ECE and ITI did assist in the 20222023 fiscal based on need but they are largely funded from federal programs to deliver training. I know they currently have applications in, and they're waiting to hear on that longterm funding. So ECE sits on the Mine Training Society board as our GNWT rep. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mahsi. Ms. Nokleby.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'll make sure to follow up with the ECE Minister when he sits in the hot seat.
My last questions are around the scientific collaborative research projects. I'm always a big, big proponent of this type of work. We've only seen an increase in the number of universities and other institutes that are in the North and working and providing great collaborative relationships in that area.
Can the Minister speak a little bit more maybe to, we obviously we didn't spend anything last year it looks like but then we're back up to the 350. What do those projects entail, and do we see or do we anticipate an increase in this area mostly, I would assume, from other funding sources such as those universities? Thank you.
Mahsi. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to note, so a detailed reporting of which universities and for which projects receives this money is in the grants and contributions results reports for 20212022. That would give a bit more of a sense of what's been ongoing, which I'm also happy to provide directly just rather than reading it out. It is an NTGS administered funding. Mr. Chair, I think I've missed a thread of what the question was. Let me see if the deputy minister wants to add anything, sorry.
Deputy minister.
I don't have much more to add. But these are based on they change annually based on the research needs and the length of the projects that the NTGS has with different academia and different institutions. And further to the Minister, yes, we can provide a detailed description of them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mahsi. Any further questions from committee on this section?
Not seeing any, please turn to page 234. Industry, Tourism and Investment, minerals and petroleum resources, operations expenditures summary, 20232024 Main Estimates, $16,469,000. Does committee agree?
Agreed.
