Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are talking about a very specific issue. We are not talking about the general state of the program or how the program content is. We are talking about a very specific funding issue. The Minister said they were talked to about a year ago, and that is the last time they were talked to.

This government is talking about ceasing funding Friday at midnight to a whole host of NGOs in many constituencies across the Northwest Territories. It would seem to me that expecting NGOs a year ago to keep in mind that there may not be any funding is not really adequate. It is not really compassionate. It is not a sufficient heads-up that in three and a half days, we are going to cut the legs out from under a number of critical adult education programs that caters to a very specific need and a segment of our population that, for the most part, is under-privileged and comes from difficult circumstances. The best we can say is they should have known about it because they signed an agreement a year ago.

The politics have changed. There is a new government here. There is some bad news coming down the pipe. I would like some clarification from the Minister that they are being a little more compassionate in terms of letting people down. Thank you.
