Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, that was part of our fiscal sustainability reduction and our ask that Prosper NWT look at different options as to how to create more sustainability within the organization with less investment from the GNWT. And so I am working with Prosper NWT, with their board as well, to figure out what the future looks like and how they can continue to provide great service to businesses across the territory. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we're just going to try to pull that in -- 2020. There we go, perfect. Thank you. And if the Member would like, we'd be more than happy to share that with her as well. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I took that as a comment but very happy to respond to it.

We often hear about the need to diversify our economy in the Northwest Territories, and we certainly do already have a very diverse economy, and when we look at, you know, where to go tomorrow and what opportunities sit before us, I agree with the Member that we have a tremendous amount of areas in the North that have the ability to grow and the ability to flourish and that we need to take stock of what our assets are and where we're going to get the biggest return on our investment as we go...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there is interest. There is the M18 up in IRC region. There's also conversation in regards to the offshore accord. And there is also some really unique research projects that are going on right now in the Northwest Territories through the carbon capture, so carbon sequestration in the territory where we have a type of rock essentially in the territory, up in the Beaufort Delta, that can take carbon dioxide that is a by-product of the processing of this material. So there's some really neat stuff going on. There is also meetings happening this week...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I can honestly say that when I travelled to the South Slave not that long ago, agriculture was the topic that came up the most often when we were down there. So just for a summary of allocations to regions, if the Member is interested, from the SCAP allocations for 2023-2024, we had $230,000 to the Beau-Del; $120,000 to the Sahtu; $200,000 to the Deh Cho, $364,000 to the South Slave; $330,000 to the North Slave; and $340,000 to the headquarters region here for a total of 1.584 -- well, $1.5 million, just over. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as far as I am aware -- and I hope somebody will poke me if I'm wrong, but we don't have any oil and gas in the Yellowknife region.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think that this is an exciting time because we are in the process of combining all of our arts funding within ITI, and I think what -- and my vision of doing this is being able to bring all of these funding opportunities together to a one-stop shop. And it also allows us to have conversation -- like, more fulsome conversations about what it is that artists need. And I think I've said in this House before that having sat through some of the art strategy engagement in 2019, I heard a lot of the same things that I heard as a 5-year-old sitting through...

Sorry, just a sec, please, Mr. Chair.

Why don't I pull that information and provide it to the Member? I'm fairly certain that it was within the life of the 19th Assembly where it was slightly increased. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it would depend on what exactly they were asking for, the amount they're asking for, and what stream of the program they're entering into. So, for example, somebody who's a sole proprietor that would like to be able to access SEED dollars in order to kind of propel their business and see it evolve would be expected to provide quotes for what it is that they're looking for and also, you know, an indication of their own equity that they want to put into the project as well. So I would say it really depends on what it is that they are looking to do. But...

We're looking for then is the number of staff in the Inuvik regional office. The office -- it's the MPR office itself in Inuvik, and that whole division at headquarters as well? Just to clarify, please, Mr. Chair.
