One last information item request. Yesterday, I was provided with a table of expenditures for inclusive schooling funding. I wonder if the same thing could be provided going back to the same year, the year 1999-2000, a table of allocation of funding for special needs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a question on funded positions under private schools and others. There is no number for funded positions. I'm just wondering why that would be. Thank you.

The information or the amount provided for private schools is a portion of the normal formula, therefore, we have not included an approximate amount for the number of positions funded. I should point out that there is a portion for salary funding in there. Thank you.

Thank you. Can the Minister tell me if they can get the amount and the number of positions from these schools? Would they have that information?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question under detail of work performed on behalf of others. The university and college entrance program detail shows that this funding is provided for financial assistance to status Indian students. Is that available to other Aboriginal students in the Northwest Territories?
