Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under not previously authorized, $1.6 million, we have some explanation here. It is broken down a little further. It says $500,000 for the development of an expanded northern Teacher Education Program in order to increase the number of available enrolments for the program to make it more accessible to NWT residents in all regions.

Mr. Chairman, I am aware that this has been an initiative that has been ongoing for a number of years. The Education Act was amended to ensure that teachers who went through TEP, the Teacher Education Program, were required to pursue a certificate or a degree after a number of years. That has been ongoing. Is this $500,000 that is identified in this area to address an increased enrolment or an increased demand on this sector? Can we have some information on that? Thank you.
