Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I ask the Minister whether this reduction in his budget would decrease the funding that has in the past gone to the NWT Literacy Council, who has benefited from getting money from the GNWT as well as some of the federal programs to introduce a lot of literacy initiatives, and ones that have made some headway. I don't know if they will have a direct impact there, but I would like to have confirmation on that from the Minister.

Another comment that I want to add, which I think is important, is that what he has been hearing about this program is that in the last years that this has been in place, it has made very huge progress. A three year is a critical time and any program that begins takes that much time to get going and get started. The unfortunate thing with this is that when the program infrastructure got put into place and got implemented and started seeing some results that we are basically, in large part because of the reduction, not complete elimination but a reduction, we are really cutting the legs from under some of these very successful initiatives. So I wanted to make that point and then go back to the question about what kind of direct impact this might have for the NWT Literacy Council if any. Thank you.
