Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department is working to update the funding policies in this fiscal year, 2022-2023. We were actually going to do 2023-2024. And we will review the data from the 2014 funding review as part of that process.
The Legislative Assembly, I need to reiterate this, we committed $5 million of the 25 initiative funding. I recognize there is a funding gap. However, these funding gaps exist virtually in all levels of government, including the GNWT. It is not realistic to expect the government to cover the cost to close the gap considering today's economy and economic situation and our current fiscal situation. But we're willing to work with AOC on this. We are willing to work with NWTAC on this. We're trying to find unique and different ways of doing it. But we also need to, you know, work together on this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
