Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the funding here is being used to establish, in part, a coordinator position that will then support both coordination and research under this agreement and will also help support the management and use of the regional training hub. So, yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, I don't have the details of what -- about the training hub here, only the supplementary request to have the coordination position moving forward to get that work underway. But, again, I'm happy to have ECE provide a bit more detail as to what that training hub's meant to accomplish. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this funding for 2023-2024 is new. We're looking to appropriate the amount that's coming from CanNor to support the initiative. There's a smaller $30,000 amount that's being funded internally by the GNWT. But that's why it's being brought forward under a supplementary appropriation is that -- this amount had not previously been included in the department's budget. For 2024-2025, I expect that it can be and hopefully can be included as part of the department's budget in this and then you won't see it in the supplementary appropriations; you'd be seeing it in part of their main estimates. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So this portion of the funding, there's an amount here of approximately $100,000 that is meant to provide the manager and coordinator for the program and for the funding -- I'm sorry, for the hub, and some remaining -- the remaining amount, roughly $30,000 or so, is for contract services in support of the work. Thank you.
