Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe, Mr. Speaker, that the total funding for youth is $150,000 within the department. I think it is also worth mentioning though that in the past the Department of Education had funds for youth travel, but it was decided a couple of years ago that those funds would be better handled at the regional level, and therefore, all of those funds have been distributed to the divisional educational councils, and those - what we used to call the school boards. Those councils now have all of the funding for youth travel, as I said, the $150,000 that remained in the budget for youth initiatives has typically in the past been targeted for a variety of projects. Not all which would be the sort that the member is referring to, but I would be happy to provide the member with some information on what funds do remain within the department. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
