Regarding that funding, I was provided a table where it showed funding that went to First Nations. Some of them were getting, like, $190,000 and stuff like that. Is that one-time funding to them to last them five years? Is that the way this is working?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Through the Northern Wellness Agreement, there is a large chunk of that funding, I think around $6 million, that is distributed to community organizations. Those community organizations develop community wellness plans, which then allows us to fund them for the five-year period for a certain pot of money for each year for them to carry out their community wellness plan. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I see they got funding, and I've seen the five-year plan. Then that's it, right? They don't get any more funding whatsoever from this pot of money or any other pots of money, for that matter. Is that a correct assumption? Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Having money from the Northern Wellness Fund doesn't preclude organizations and governments from applying for things such as on-the-land healing program, the peer support program we just announced, the suicide prevention program we just announced, and the healthy choices fund that we've talked about. If you get the one pot of money, it doesn't mean you can't apply for the other pots of money. Thank you.

Okay. Moving on to another one, it could be similar, but there is the First Nations and Inuit Home and Community Care Program. I'm just wondering if this is where the personal support workers were funded, under this program? Mahsi.

Is this the personal support workers who are currently working in the health centres and working with the elders in the communities? Is this the same program, the same funding? Mahsi.

Thank you. In the case of Fort Providence, this pot of money is providing for an activity aid, a home support worker, a homecare nurse who is an LPN, and a case aid family preservation worker. Thank you.

I'm assuming, since there are no line items for these coming up for 2021-2022, this program is defunct or no longer available? Mahsi.

Thank you. I know it looks that way, but it's not that way. I'll ask Ms. Mathison to fill in the blanks there. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, as of 2019-2020 / 2020-2021, we changed the way we account for these dollars in the budget. We now show that money in the activity of long-term care. When we talked last week about the increases that we saw in the long-term care budget, it was mostly to reflect this funding agreement with the federal government. Thank you, Madam Chair.
