Thank you, Madam Chair. I am happy to see there is $100,000 for our training for restorative justice, and I am even happier to see that it is completely offset by Justice Canada. However, this is one-time funding. Restorative justice, I believe, is very underfunded in our territory. Are there any current applications in to this same pool of funding to get more money?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will have to get back to the House, to the committee, on this. I don't know, although I am confident that the Department of Justice will be continuing to seek out funding for restorative justice. It remains a priority for the Department of Justice, Madam Chair.

Thank you. In addition to when the Minister gets back to committee, if it could also be included, any further efforts to access money from Canada's Gun and Gang Violence Action Fund. I am happy to see this money, but I would like to see more. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The gun and gang strategy is a longer-term commitment from the federal government, but I will confirm for the committee whether or not there are any additional applications that are in the pipelines coming down. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am just always slightly confused when we see implementation funding appear in all sorts of different departments. Can I just clarify if somewhere else in our budget the financing agreement with Deline for their self-government agreement -- is this $199,000 coming from the federal government, or is this our money?
