Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Department of the Executive actually coordinates two programs, the Northern Student Employment Program and the Northern Graduate Employment Program. It is for these two programs that we are asking for the money. There are also six other programs; an Employment Support Program, an Aboriginal Private Sector Program, an Advanced Training Program, a Teacher Education Program, a Student Success Centre, and a Healthy Workplace. There are monies for these programs in other departments.

We are working together with those departments, both in coordinating the Northern Student Employment Program and the Northern Graduate Employment Program, but also in the implementation of the areas that are under their responsibility.
