Thank you, Madam Chair. The total amount requested of 6.792 includes funding for agency nurse contracts of 5.7 as well as providing accommodation for those nurses and also for their union dues, and it's divided up between the different departments within which they would be employed. But that is the total, 6.7.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So if I'm looking at the descriptions right, we're cutting funding in the economic diversification and business support part of ITI and giving it over to minerals and petroleum resources. So I can I get an explanation here as to why that is happening? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So there's two reallocations taken out from the secondment program and the knowledge economy. The knowledge economy is sunsetting. That work's been complete, and that money is no longer needed there. It's at a different stage now. The secondment program, there was a position that was no longer required and so the secondment agreement was cancelled. So there's surplus money sitting in those two, and it's been reallocated to three things. One, the NWT producer incentive pilot program, which is within the film industry for $100,000; the MRA implementation process for 125, and the SEA redesign for 86. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So how much of the $311,000 is going to the MRA implementation and royalty regime review, and then how much is going to the socio-economic agreement program? Thanks, Madam Chair.

$125,000 plus $86,000, Madam Chair. And I just didn't do the math in time.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So, again, I guess I'm just kind of interested in how much additional funding the department has secured for the MRA implementation royalty work over the last few years. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I don't know if we have a total here but perhaps I'll suggest we turn to Ms. Melanson. She might have some further information that she could provide. Thank you.
