Thank you. Madam Chair, the capital infrastructure for community libraries is $50,000. Is that all the government can come up with for infrastructure for community libraries in the North here? Is this right across the Northwest Territories? Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this is a fund provided through Education, Culture and Employment and I am told yes it is, that is it. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have seen some of the libraries in our communities and I know some of the people who work hard and they are certainly pushing people to volunteer or support their community's libraries. We have initiatives such as literacy programs and to support our children and certainly have money there for our community libraries, and $50,000 for a community is something I am hoping the Minister would look at improving or increasing in terms of really putting the meat to the bones in terms of literacy programs.
Some communities have really nice community libraries and some are in pretty rough shape, a shambles. I know $50,000 is not much, it's peanuts to support our community library, so I would ask that the Minister would give some explanation as to how this $50,000 got in here. I think that's quite alarming to see this in here to support our community libraries. I would like to ask that to the Minister, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this fund, as we look more into the detail, this fund is actually as we repair schools or renovate or put new schools in place, part of the capital program is for library function in that facility. The $50,000 is actually part of a carry-over for the Tulita school library. So it's in part of the package and will be part of that. Thank you.
