Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for the question. The funding is provided through a Canada-Northwest Territories Cooperative Agreement. It is a five-year agreement. It was signed on January 6, 2000. The five years is for a total of $17.5 million.
The Member is correct; it provided $1.9 million for aboriginal languages in the Territory and $1.6 million for French. The allocation of the French language is done according to a national requirement. That particular allocation is based on a formula done nationally.
In addition to the federal monies, the territorial government also has approximately $1.8 million for language programs in schools, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
