Thank you, Madam Chair. In this overall education budget, the amount that's going out to schools this year for aboriginal language and culture is $7.9 million. That's being divided up among all of the schools in the Northwest Territories. That sort of program would certainly fit the bill. It would be up to the individual school district to decide whether or not that's what they thought was an appropriate expenditure. The way the Member has described it, I am confident it would fit within our directive.
