Thank you. The other one is $30,000 for law and bursaries. These are for indigenous aboriginal students to pursue a law degree. Is that for several students or one student, five students at the most? Is there a limit on it? Has this funding exceeded or are we under-funded on this portion here? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In any given year, the maximum number we have had applying for this is six. It is a maximum of $10,000 each. So $5,000 per semester is the maximum that is made available. Thank you.

Thank you. I know Mr. Dent was going to look at getting some information to the aboriginal court challenges and some requirements to paying that. I am asking this because a couple of groups in my region wanted to know more about this. I am not too sure the advertisement for this kind of programming is out there in the communities because they are asking about...The one issue they were talking about is the issue of the discrimination of the M‚tis eligibility on this UCEP funding of the federal government. So they wanted to look at something like this. Is this where you would fit something like that into a situation? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are a number of criteria. The process is outlined on our web site, but it is not advertised in any other format. I would certainly be happy to write to the Member with the details. There is a committee that has to consider all of the requests. There are a certain number of criteria. If an applicant meets those criteria, they apply to the committee. The committee then makes a recommendation to me. Then I would sign off on it, based on their recommendation. So I would be happy to write to the Member, and he can share the criteria with the residents he is talking about in his area or he can encourage them to have a look at the Justice web site, because it is set out on the Justice web site too.

Thank you. I would appreciate something that the Minister can give me to write or communicate somehow to me so I can take it back to the communities that I represent. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a motion for page 7-19. I move that this committee recommends that the government undertake to develop a concrete plan with specific actions to address the absence of policing services in small communities in the NWT;
Further, that the plan and its associated cost estimate be presented to the Standing Committee on Social Programs before or during the review of the 2006-2009 Business Plans. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
