Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Mr. Minister.
Yes. Not so much in the other departments, but within this department, is there evidence I would say since the MOU was signed to exercise awareness through the workshops for the programs offered by this department? Is there funding set aside to hold workshops with the Sahtu communities?
Thank you. Mr. Thompson. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Recognizing Mr. Lovely.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. With the department sponsoring a lot of these programs and community assistance, does the department set aside funding for regional awareness workshops to initiate discussions about the programs and services and subsidies the department offers?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier, I said I was going to address the questions around the summer student program. The summer student program, as you know, is a vital backbone to the next generation accumulating and generating their education to further seek their career of choices. As mentioned earlier, they face many challenges, and it's always comforting to know that, when they do come back home, this government is trying every which way to assist. I would like to ask the Minister responsible: what initiatives are under way for this current summer program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
