So just clarification, this isn't a reduction. It's an elimination of the program; is that not correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, thank you for that response from the Premier. That's exactly what I think the SPCA wants to hear. Mr. Speaker, I said their costs per year or last year were around $700,000. $200,000 of that is now staff. It used to be volunteer-driven. That's the kind of range. Is there room in the Premier's budget to provide $200,000 to the SPCA? Thank you.

Thank you. No, that's fine, and I think that's a reasonable expectation. The Minister can't plan for -- I mean, there could be contingencies, but until you don't know what you know. And I think, again, the board could have been -- well, should, most likely, have been a bit less arm's length than this one and at least given a head's up so we weren't dealing with the mess we're in now. This is a very significant issue, and it's a significant issue in the vast majority of our communities where education outcomes are extremely poor, and there's a very real need for adult education.

We have an...

Thank you. And I think I spoke to this in the finance budget as well. I just -- it's always struck me as odd that it's administered through here rather than just a tax benefit. Is there any reason why we could raise the income ceiling here to see more -- sorry, let me go back.

Is the $2 million that's paid out from the benefit, does it come out of what's appropriated for income assistance, or is it -- does it come out of Finance's budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to recognize my constituent Nicole Spencer. She is the executive director of the SPCA for the Northwest Territories, does great work with animals, and is also a neighbour. So thank you for being here today, Nicole. It's lovely to have you watching our proceedings.

Yeah, thank you. And I think that's the number in question that Members are taking issue with continuing to provide to the college. So I'd like to know it for sure.

Now, the mandate letter that the Minister provided to the college is adult education -- I don't have the benefit of having it in front of me, but is adult education in that mandate letter? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'd like to ask about the NWT child benefit. It's currently, I think, condensed into the income assistance line here. Can we have actual -- how much is budgeted for the benefit in detail? Thank you.

Thank you. We sit too close to each other. Anyway, confusing people. So I also have questions of Aurora College.

The Minister just said that one of the -- sorry, when looking at adult education and the closure of the community learning centres -- not just, but earlier said that we need to make sure that their programming meets the needs of ECE. Can she explain what she means by that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Premier for pulling out the book. This is a question I get asked all the time. Our streets are increasingly a dangerous place for our residents.

We passed a piece of legislation in, like, two days using extraordinary force of will from this Assembly. We can move very quickly if we want to. Can the Premier commit to bringing forward all these LPs within this sitting of the legislature. Thank you.

Thank you. And I acknowledge that, and it is a decision that was made unilaterally and has earned the ire of many provincial governments and territorial governments. But, you know, one of the problems we have is that we have -- we only have just hit our quota whereas the Yukon has been hitting -- has made good use of that quota over time, and before they -- they're cut down to 400, but they were operating at 800. So the Maritimes have a different system where they pool their allocation. I think it's around 5,000 applications that's split between all the provinces. Is there a -- so there's...
