Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a final comment. Without having had a briefing on the pilot project, specifically the Gwich'in and Arctic College's pilot projects under investing

in people pilot project, it's difficult to know exactly what this money is now going to go towards. The Minister has just indicated that it's typically to deal with employment-type programs, and since these are often aimed at youth, that is one of the rationales that was used for transferring the funds.

The youth initiatives funding was intended for projects which were initiated by youth, and the goal here was to promote youth leadership, awareness and involvement in healthy and culturally-relevant lifestyles and activities with a focus that was alcohol and drug free.

It seems now, to me -- and, again, I don't have the benefit of a detailed briefing on the pilot project -- that there has been a subtle shift in what those dollars are being used for. I think that Members of this Legislature are very, very strongly onside with what the goals of the youth initiative program were. So, I think it's very, very important that we ensure there are adequate funds to carry applications if they do come forward for the balance of this year.

I've heard Mr. Nerysoo say that he recognizes there may be a need to find some funds if applications come forward. But, Mr. Chairman, he is not the Minister responsible for the youth initiatives program. I would like to ask the Minister, or at least the acting Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, if there is a commitment that we will ensure that this program is not effectively killed by not having any further funds for it this year.
