Thank you, Madam Chair. If there is a husband and wife, and one is 65 and the other is not, can they still access that program? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would have to get back to the Member. I just want to be specific and clear that, if there is a husband and wife, and the property tax is under the husband's name or the wife's name or both, that makes a difference. If it's under just the one, then I would have to get clarification. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. That question has come up before, and what happens is that one spouse has to sell the property to the other to access that. Myself, I don't think that's right. I look forward to your answer. Thank you.

We are calling committee back to order, and we are on activity regional operations. We finished with Hay River South. Are there questions on regional operations? Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am wondering, for the sports activities that are located under other contributions, can the Minister advise what percentage of that funding goes to planning versus the actual activities and events? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. All of the programs that you see there are actually contribution programs. The administration of those programs is done by our staff, which is funded up in the staff component. This is the actual dollars of the program that are delivered. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. That's excellent news. I am wondering if the Minister can speak to the Children and Youth Resiliency Program that is outlined on page 338. Thank you.

Hi. Just a second. Thank you, Madam Chair. MACA provides $450,000 in annual contributions to community governments or other organizations to support programs that encourage physical literacy and resilience in children and youth. This program also supports GNWT objectives related to healthy communities and to poverty, mental health and addictions, and education. The Children and Youth Resiliency Program helps support and develop physical activity and mental health resilience amongst NWT children and youth. Thank you, Madam Chair.
