Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So the trainers that the department hires; is the Minister able to provide a regional breakdown on that, or are the trainers mostly hired from here? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do hire trainers, Madam Lee. We do hire trainers out of this money to do some training here in the capital city, and also in the various regional offices, and also at the community levels too in some cases. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A final follow up on that. May I ask the Minister to provide us with how that budget item was spent in the last year? I want to still get more detailed information about where the training money was spent. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The community governance program, I would like some information from the Minister in terms of how the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs...I know there was some talk about the mini...(inaudible)...funding, I am not too sure how long it is for. So is there anything in terms of giving us a heads up in the communities in terms of the funding by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs in terms of supporting this initiative? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs through their band council trainee, sometimes come with us, they do buy services from us, and we do a joint thing to train their employees also. The department officials and their officials are in constant contact with each other if they require any services or not. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason why I have brought this up is because I attended one of the community governance training programs, and I thought it was really excellent in terms of attendance and in terms of the training that we had. I would like to call on putting this type of training into our regions, in the communities. I know they offer it in larger centres, which makes sense because of the cost sharing and keeping the costs down, but sometimes it would be good to have the training come to the communities. Not as much as we want, however, to have the training come into the regions, especially in the regions where land claims are being settled and self-government agreements are being negotiated. The community training would be good for our future leaders in the Sahtu region. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the School of Community Government, I want to make a comment again in terms of my experience there last June, it was good, we had a good trainer, and we had a good group of people at the Explorer Hotel here in Yellowknife. One of the reasons why I am sitting here today may be because of the content of the training and the discussions that we had and the interest to get back into politics in the Sahtu region in the Northwest Territories. I just want to lend a little of my support in terms of it's a good job and it should be done in all the Northwest Territories. It was a good training program and it takes in many facets of the Northwest Territories. I just want to say a good job to the department on this one here.
