Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I have a question for the Minister responsible for Youth.
The communities I represent, the funding levels for youth, the most one community gets is $25,000; the others receive less. I was just wondering what their plans are in the next year if we plan to increase that amount.
Thank you, Mr. Blake. The Minister of MACA, Honourable Robert C. McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The money that’s been invested in the youth in the last Assembly – and I’m sure the commitment will carry on in this Assembly – has been increased like it never has been before. I’m not sure about the exact figure the Member is quoting, but I do know there are many opportunities for youth and communities to access some of the funding. We have different pots of funding that our youth are able to access or they’re able to access through their community.
I could look up the amount of money that’s gone to the Members’ communities and have a discussion with the Members so we can have an exact figure. Thank you.
I have no further questions.
