Thank you, Madam Chair. The Arctic Energy Alliance receives about $2.74 million in core ongoing funding from the GNWT. So the funding supports alternative energy and efficiency programs as well as for our six regional offices, which is Yellowknife, Hay River, Inuvik, Norman Wells, Whati, and Fort Simpson.

So last year, the GNWT provided over $5.2 million. So, I mean, core funding for this year, for 2021-2022, is about -- including LSAP is $6.6 million. I understand where the Member's coming from in terms of, you know, perhaps the projects, given the uptake in the amount of assistance that we're giving, that this is something that we're able to work with Canada on. Thank you, Madam Chair.
