Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Ms. Bisaro on March 4, 2013, regarding re-profiled funding for early childhood development initiatives 2012-2013.

The Early Childhood Development (ECD) funding includes the $1 million funding re-profiled from the inclusive schooling budget as well as $250,000 re-profiled from the closure of the Western Arctic Leadership Program.

Later today, at the appropriate time, I will table “Re-Profiled Funding for Early Childhood Development Actual Expenditures 2012-2013.” This document lists the initiatives completed in 2012-2013, including engagements such as the elders sharing circle and the ECD roundtable, which informed the renewal of the Early Childhood Development Framework, the two pilot child and family resources centres, phase one of the ECD public awareness campaign, and the implementation of the reviewed NWT Child Day Care Standards Regulations.
