Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is work being done on the Innuqatigiit Inuktitut curriculum that would apply across the board, to all boards. It would be the base curriculum in which the Inuktitut language would be taught or, in fact, it would be used as the teaching language. We have done that in the same context with the Dene Kede curriculum, where there is a basic core of instruction that would be offered. In that sense, the resources that are being provided to the divisional boards will be used, in fact, to teach that core program to the students.
If I might respond to the honourable Member regarding the method of payments, he is correct that several years ago we changed the method by which we provided financial resources and payments to our boards. We went from quarterly payments to monthly payments, and that was the result of a decision that was made by Cabinet upon instruction by the Auditor General that that was the method by which we should be making payments. In spite of that, the department still provides levels of financing based on need, in some cases. For instance, the greatest need for some of the resources is at the early stages of opening their schools, and as a result of that there is a bit more money being paid out at those particular junctures. So, even though we pay on a monthly basis, there is an effort on the part of the department to provide resources earlier to respond to immediate needs of our boards. That is the method by which we are responding to the financial requirements of the boards.
