Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to hear the Minister is outlining the NWT's perspective, that we are unique in the federal umbrella. The NWT Literacy Council has lost $344,000 as a result of the cuts. This funding represents three areas, Mr. Speaker, coalition funding, family and community literacy development and aboriginal literacy research project. Mr. Speaker, I think it is obvious that we cannot depend solely on the federal government anymore for support for literacy. What plans has the Minister made to support the

NWT Literacy Council at this time to ensure that the essential services continue? Mahsi.
