Mr. Speaker, this is in response to a question asked by Mrs. Marie-Jewell on March 4 regarding education leave for territorial government employees.
In 1992, 13 employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories were granted education leave. This compares to 26 in 1991 and 33 in 1990.
The decrease from 1991 to 1992 was the result of a 50 per cent reduction in funding for the education leave program.
