Mr. Chairman, thank you. One of the details on this page is listed as a $14,000 contribution providing increased funding to the Status of Women Council of the Northwest Territories for additional costs associated with the implementation of salary increases.

Mr. Chairman, at various times in this session, we have talked about our government's responsibilities to various boards and agencies and organizations that deliver services to us and this detail very specifically identifies one of these organizations, or, sorry, two of the organizations, the Status of Women Council and the Native Women's Association, as being eligible for increased contributions for salary increases comparable to the GNWT public service.

Mr. Chairman, as these types of organizations, I certainly am in support of this allocation, but what I'm wondering about is how do we differentiate between these two organizations, the Status of Women Council and the Native Women's Association, as opposed to other organizations such as the YWCA, the NWT Literacy Council, the NWT Association of Families? Why are they not included in this supp for similar allocations for salary increases, again pegged to what we have agreed to for our own civil service? So can the Minister give me some explanation as to why these two organizations are identified and not others, Mr. Chairman?
