Hon. John Ningark's return to Question W3-12(1), asked by Mr. Gargan on December 11, 1991: Since 1979-80 the Native Women's Association has received funding from the Government of the Northwest Territories. Funding is provided to the association as a core grant to be used for operation and administration services. In 1979-80 the Native Women's Association received $30,000 in core grant funding and, since then, the annual contribution to the organization has increased to $175,000 in 1991-92.
Funding for community activities, programs, and/or services undertaken by the Native Women's Association is the responsibility of the organization itself.
