Thank you, Mr. Chair. If it is all right with committee, we can get that information to you, a breakdown of how that works, and provide it to standing committee ASAP. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister's commitment to tell us what the total cost is of this ADM position and any related positions, such as an assistant, but my primary request is that the next mains include this position in this activity area so that the cost of administration is contained in one activity area, rather than being borrowed from other areas. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to the distance learning program, previously the Minister was talking about an expansion there. How much money is it going to cost us to expand to these additional four communities? Thank you.

Thank you. Perhaps the Minister could advise whether this would be better dealt with in a different activity. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is actually later, but we can answer it if the Chair is all right with that. The actual amount that is in the budget for the expansion of the Northern Distance Learning Program is $432,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I apologize. I was looking at it through the evaluation part of it. Is this the area where we talk about the SCIP and the evaluation of that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Maybe we can clear this up. Would these be better left to early childhood and school services? Is that the correct area, Minister Cochrane?

Thank you. Nothing further from Mr. Thompson on this activity. I just request, before Members speak, to make sure that the light indicating that the microphone is working is on. Anything further to corporate management? Seeing none, I will call the activity. Corporate management, operations expenditures summary, total activity, $9,787,000. Does committee agree?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I see from the business plan that is posted on the Department of Finance website that there are sunsets of two term devolution archivist positions over at the museum, presumably, or the archives. Can someone explain to me what is going on here? Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is actually found on page 36, and it is part of the culture and heritage monies. What happened was the funding for two devolution archivists was sunsetted, and so, after that happened, we actually asked for the money back. They gave us indeterminate funding for that, so it is an in and out. We have it as a debit for that column one and then, actually, a credit at the same time, so it doesn't really show. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
