Fourteen thousand dollars in Yellowknife might get you a lot of supplies and materials for youth to attend after school programs, but up in communities like Sachs Harbour, Inuvik and Fort McPherson, those dollars don’t travel very far. I was in a meeting in Inuvik with Ingamo Hall. They talked about lack of programs and funding, and competing for funding dollars.

I want to ask the Minister, is he willing to review the amount of funding going towards the youth centres and youth-serving organizations, to look at possibly another increase so that these communities can benefit and get a little bit more funding to run the programs and keep the kids into healthy, educated programs?
