Mr. Chairman, I'm really not in a position to point to any programs that we have for the city to apply to, except to repeat exactly what I said earlier; that we do provide funding. We give the city $80,000 every year for recreation and that's the best avenue to follow up on this.

Thank you. Well, $80,000 to the City of Yellowknife doesn't go very far. I'll take the questions up at a later time with the Minister directly.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have one question. The Minister entertained the idea of considering future funding to non-profit or non-government agencies like friendship centres in the NWT who do a lot of work with volunteers and raising volunteer awareness and training volunteers, and $20,000 for training volunteers for non-profit organizations is ludicrous. I know the eight friendship centres we have in the NWT have been pounding on the government's door for years just to try to get a dollar of core funding from this government to help with their core programs.

I am not sure if it's under this department that I should be directing it to, but there is something for volunteers and the friendship centres are directly volunteer driven. Has the Minister ever entertained the idea of providing some core funding to these NGOs? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure we've entertained it. We certainly haven't entertained it in this year's budget. The friendship centres are funded through a formula that's provided through the federal government. The federal government has various ways to provide funding to these centres. Some of it is for capital, some of it is for training and some of it is core. We haven't really provided. We do, on some occasions through different government departments, provide some money to support different programs and different initiatives, but we, as a department, have not considered providing core funding to a program that's considered federal at this point.
