Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, and it is on the subject of the Tree of Peace Education Funding. Last week I made a statement in the House in regard to this good organization and the fine work that it is doing in our community and throughout the North. I attended the Annual Assembly of the Tree of Peace Friendship Centre and issues were raised during that meeting that I would like to bring to the attention of the Minister. The delegates to the Assembly adopted a resolution asking the Minister to investigate what they perceive as funding practices that discriminate against the centre's adult education programme. Basically, they are asking why some adult education students get funding in other programs, while people in their program do not. I made a few phone calls and discovered this issue is not as cut and dried as it appears, and I guess I would like to ask the Minister to explain the policy in funding adult education students. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
