Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. At one time the money to assist, to help administer, was housed in the Executive. It was felt, with all the work that was happening at a national level, that it was better housed in Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations because of the additional support that could be provided inter-governmentally. It was a bit much to have one woman's advisor that was previously in the Executive do all the preparatory work for FPT Woman's Issues and so on. By having it housed in there, it was able to get more support for those meetings. Most of the work is administrative support and the Minister responsible for Women, there is a woman's advisor to provide advice to the Minister responsible for Women. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. O'Reilly?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So when I go back to the org chart on page 24, I see that there is a special advisor, Status of Women, position there reporting to a Minister responsible. So is that Minister responsible, then, the Minister for the Status of Women in this case or is it the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. McLeod.

Minister responsible for Women, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. O'Reilly?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. It might be helpful then, if that diagram was clarified, because that's why I'm asking these sorts of questions. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. McLeod.

Of course, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. O'Reilly? Next we have Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister could just give a quick rationale for deciding not to continue funding to the Inspire Awards.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are the only jurisdiction, I believe, that sponsored the Inspire Awards. The other provinces would only sponsor it when it was held in their province. Generally it's unusual for us to fund organizations that are outside of the Northwest Territories. Also it was felt that we could support it in other ways. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Ms. Green?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister just said they could support it in other ways. I'm wondering what those look like.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Green. Mr. McLeod?

Through supporting the Aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories. Those people that are invited and attend the Inspire, they would pay their own way though whatever departments they were with. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Any further questions, Mr. Green?

This is more a comment. It's my understanding from the president of Inspire that $125,000 worth of scholarships were given out in the NWT in the last year to students. So it seems like a pretty good investment to provide that kind of support for the $125,000 in return, although I understand the Minister's rationale for not going with the ongoing support of the event itself. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Green. Premier McLeod?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is that comes through corporate sponsorships. Certainly Inspire is a very good organization and we are very impressed by the work that they do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Ms. Green, I apologize for calling you Mrs. Green. Ms. Green?

That's my mother. I have no further comments, thanks.
