Thank you. Yes, this the concept of laddering, and while that is within the purview of ECE, we do have a good relationship with Aurora. This is something that we have talked about and flagged, certainly the nursing professionals have, but I can't speak in terms of what the outcomes of those discussions are. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister, or perhaps the deputy minister, could give me a good idea of a timeline of when to follow up on that question. Thank you.

I'm not certain. We don't have anything specific. There are ongoing discussions, but whenever the Member would like, I think.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the disabilities fund includes any funding toward FASD diagnostic in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't think that this is the right category for that question. I think that we talked about the respite services in the previous health and social programs category, but I'll just ask the deputy minister to confirm that. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Mr. Chair. It's been a long week; I'll try to get the gender right. I take it this is the part of the budget that the paid caregiver leave program falls under. Is that correct?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I know that there is a pilot program in progress. Can we just get a bit of an update of where that program is at? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Yes. The program exists in five different communities at this point. There is a limited intake of spots, but I think that most of them have been taken up and that there is evaluation planned for the next fiscal year in order to determine the future of the pilot program. That's a very high-level answer. The deputy minister would be able to offer quite a bit more. Thank you.
