Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the National Child Benefit Program was a national program in which federal money is passed to individuals in the Territories with children. We have developed, in parallel to that, an NWT child benefit program to help the working poor to ensure that the children of working poor have an opportunity to provide some extra funding, but all the money originally came from the national program. We supplemented that for different programs we have developed, Mr. Speaker.
