Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to our generous Premier for allowing the Member to ask questions across the board. The Member is correct. The Assembly did approve funds for Chromebooks and turbo sticks to be distributed across the territory. Many of those have gone out. I am not exactly sure how many have gone out, but they are being distributed to students who for whatever reason have to participate in distanced learning, so not every student gets one. For example, though, in Fort Liard, when the school shut down, within a week, ECE and the school board were able, with the help of Finance, to deploy Chromebooks and turbo sticks to those who needed them. That is the status of that, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
