Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this section actually goes between two different assistant deputy ministers in the way that it is in the main estimates, just so that everybody knows. The assistant deputy minister that is responsible for post-secondary is hiding in the little room. So just so that I -- I just wanted to be transparent and that I might have to phone a friend who is in a back room.
But for this one here for the reduction to Aurora College, what was done in our restoring balance exercise is the GNWT was we were instructed to go back and work with our departments, as well as our agencies and arm's length organizations. And so for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment that, of course, included Aurora College. And so what was done there was we went back to Aurora College, we went back to education bodies as well, and asked them what they were prepared to let go of as far as funding. And so that dollar amount that came from Aurora College was a hundred percent driven by them and them alone and so -- and I didn't tweak it any way, shape, or form. I respected their operational independence in that respect. So what Aurora College did was they were able to review position vacancies, retirements, and positions that won't impact programs and that largely was what drove their reductions from their budget. Thank you.
