Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member might be happy to know I just did meet yesterday with the CEO of Tlicho Investment Corporation. So we have a very close working relationship and are able to work in partnership with one another to find out ways that we can support one another's goals, and we definitely have some shared ones.
In addition to comments around scholarships and such, ECE definitely does support the education funding requirements for students that are entering into trades. Just like we -- through a different funding pot but similar to how we support students who are wanting to go to post-secondary institutions in a Bachelor of Arts or science program as well, and so that is definitely something that we value and we see as important. With this funding pot here, it is definitely one that is prescribed to wage subsidies, which is a very important requirement of people going through their education programs as well. So, for example, while a student is doing an apprenticeship might be in school 12 weeks or -- during -- 12 to 16 weeks out of their years, they do have a requirement to then go back to their employer and complete a certain number of hours after that, or leading up to that as well, depending on, and so this is another way that we can continue to support as they -- support them as they move through the required hours and years of their apprenticeship. Thank you.
