Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for their statement on the good work of the NWT Literacy Council.
The Department of Education, Culture and Employment really works closely and relies on the good work of NGOs and community organizations to do a lot of this work. And so approximately $900,000 in funding is provided to the NWT Literacy Council to support adult, youth, and family literacy initiatives, and a lot of these programs include capacity building and developing family centered community-based programs. In addition to that, Mr. Speaker, there's also the Community Learning Development Fund which is approximately $770,000, and this funding is directed at community organizations to promote and increase literacy skills as well. So those are two of our key components there. Thank you.
