Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Certainly, we do appreciate any additional funding from the federal government. With this $612,000 that has been allocated to the North for basic funding for settlement, anti-racism, enhanced language training an…(inaudible)…initiatives.
Those are federally funded directly to our NWT.
There are certain criteria and specific guidelines that we do follow, Mr. Speaker, and in the past ECE -- Education, Culture and Employment -- did provide a support letter for the Centre for Northern Families to access funding towards the federal government.
Also, our department has contributed funding towards this centre as well in the past and we continue to work with them through that fact. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
