Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, during our last session in October, I questioned the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment about the department's financial contributions to the career and technology centre that Yellowknife Catholic schools is planning. While I applaud the efforts of the Yellowknife Catholic school board in advancing the trades sector in our schools, I am concerned about the level of funding committed by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment in other communities. Mr. Speaker, the potential price tag for the trades centre was $1.45 million and that has since increased to $1.8 million. Last October, the Minister told me in this House: "To my understanding, there has been no commitment for a level of funding that has been approved as of yet by us. Our position I think will be to look at the program, but normally how we do this is to suggest that the various DECs and DEAs that are looking to expand programs have to take those out of existing funding." I would like to ask the Minister again, what level in funding, in actual dollars, will the department be providing to the centre for the Yellowknife students? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
