I know the Minister does meet with the chairs of the DECs on a regular basis, but he also meets with the education authority staff I am sure. I am sure the Minister knows how many times the education authority has talked about needing more funding to do the programs and services and even things such as travel for board meetings, travel to meet staff, professional development, all of those things can be affected.

What is the Minister doing right now to meet with the Beaufort-Delta Education Authority to offset the high costs before and after the Junior Kindergarten money was taken away from the education

authority budget to these 23 communities in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
