Thank you. I'm going to go back to the Member from Frame Lake, information items on page 60 to 63. Is there any further questions from Members? I got to go to the Member from Mackenzie Delta.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I've always stated that our Indigenous languages are in great -- are in need of revitalization, especially the Gwich'in language. It's dying at a fast rate. And a lot of our elders, who don't get to go out as often as they'd like, because and we're losing a lot of elders too. So the Indigenous language broadcasting, I see is cut by $52,000. Can the Minister give me some insight on why the cut has been made? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the $52,000 that the Member referred to reduced a line item from $150,000 to $98,000, and that is a return of traditionally unsubscribed funding under the Indigenous languages broadcasting grant. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay. The Indigenous language revitalization, was that sunsetted, or can you bring some clarity to that? Because revitalization is very important in our Indigenous languages and seeing something, a drastic cut in that measure needs some clarity. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Sorry, Mr. Chair. Just for clarity, is the Member still speaking about the Indigenous languages broadcasting grant of $52,000? I'm just looking for clarity from the Member. Thank you.

I was referring to the Indigenous language revitalization. It was revised in 2023 at 200, and main estimates for 2024-2025, it's cut to zero. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Member for that clarification. So that portion there is a portion of the funding for the Indigenous languages diploma program that I spoke of earlier. That was money that was put in our budget so that we would have it for Aurora College when they came forward with their diploma program. But, unfortunately, that has not happened as of yet. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So is the money still there? Can it be used in the future when Arctic College decides to use it for the language program? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, my commitment to my colleagues was that when Aurora College does come forward with a suitable and ready proposal, that I would then bring that forward to my Cabinet colleagues. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, this Indigenous language revitalizations, so I know that there's a lot of our community members they go south once a year to the University of Alberta, you know, enrolling to program for the language. So this is part of the project. And why -- I just wanted to know why there is a cut or did they -- like, she talked quite a few times about the redistribution so is this program -- you know, are we cancelling this program, or is there -- did it go somewhere? Because I'm sure our Indigenous students are going to be asking about that.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So Mr. Chair, this line item does not speak to the program that the Member is referring to. This line item, it speaks to the diploma program through Aurora College. So ECE has been funded for that program for multiple years but, unfortunately, that program does not exist yet. And so to ensure that we're using the dollars as committed to by the Legislative Assembly, those dollars have been removed until such time that I can come forward to FMB with a proposal from Aurora College in order to accurately request dollars for that program. Thank you.

Well, I see here Indigenous scholarship. I guess that must be part of -- that's part of the revitalization education program. So I think maybe if the Minister can explain a bit about this Indigenous scholarship.
