Thank you, Madam Chair. So ECE has long recognized Northern Youth Abroad as a strong partner for a number of reasons, primarily and initially for their core programming. But over the past number of years, we've partnered with them for other areas and supports for students one of which actually connects back to the northern distance learning program, which you were just asking about, which would have northern youth abroad escort students to a university campus in Edmonton to help them see firsthand and to help them acclimate for that transition.

Specifically due to COVID, a number of the typical Northern Youth Abroad initiatives could not go forward but as was the case across government and across ECE, we continue to flow funding to them so that they continue to maintain operations, and they did provide counselling supports to students over the course of that period. Thank you, Madam Chair.
