Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In terms of the $17 million in forced growth, $6.8 million was in a base deficiency in social assistance. When social assistance was transferred to Education, Culture and Employment from the Department of Health and Social Services, it was known to be deficient in the amount of funding that was provided; that is, in the budget that was approved in the previous year, it was already known that there would be a shortage of about $6.8 million.

The next largest part of forced growth would be in education board contributions. Were the formula not to have changed for this current fiscal year, education board contributions would have increased by $5.15 million and that is to take into account the growth in the number of students in the school system in one year.

The next largest part of growth was student financial assistance, $2.772 million; that is, to reflect again, the growth in the numbers of students who are qualified to receive student financial assistance.

As well, there is somewhat of an increase in the numbers of northerners who are qualifying for student financial assistance and they tend to have more families, so the cost per student is going up as we go along in the program.

Next was $2.126 million in forced growth in what was projected to be an increase in the number of clients accessing social assistance. So this is apart from the base deficiency which was to make up for an historical deficient situation with the budget. It was projected that there would be over $2 million in increased need in the Northwest Territories from people for the program.

The early childhood program was projected to be at an increase of $391,000 and this is a simple estimate in the increase in the number of young people who would be in early childhood spaces which this government, by a formula, helps provide funding assistance for.

The next area of forced growth was one that Mr. Enuaraq was talking about earlier today. That is the seniors' supplementary benefit. That's projected to grow by $73,000 in this fiscal year, not because of any increase to the formula but just in an increase in the numbers of seniors who will be accessing the program.

And, in the college funding allocation system, we are projecting growth of $29,000 and I'm advised that is for new facilities.

Mr. Chairman, on the initiatives that the Member is talking about that the department has proposed, does the Member want to go through those, too, on a case-by-case basis. If you would like, I can read them into the record, too, Mr. Chairman, but perhaps we can find out if we want to go through them on an individual basis, as well.
