Mr. Chair, in addition to the base contributions for the college, the amount in here includes funding for the teacher education strategy and for both the ongoing programs of $574,000 and the MNE funding of $500,000. It includes pre-employment training for oil and gas at $200,000; diamond training for $265,000; community skills for work funding for $290,000; and I think that explains the $25 million some odd. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question on those items under contributions, the first one being teacher education program for $1.074 million and so on and so forth. I'm wondering for that one in particular, why we have a separate contribution item for the teacher education program when it's one of many that are being offered at Aurora College. Is this separate funding on top of the funding that the government provides to Aurora College?

It's certainly a good question. The answer to it, I guess, is somewhat historical in that the base contributions to the teacher education program have been supplemented through initiatives including, originally, the teacher education strategy. The amount of funding that is referred to is funded through there. There has also been funding through maximizing northern employment that is provided separately to the college. Thank you.
