Okay, thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the -- sorry, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

So if the Member is looking for information on the clinicians, that would be with health and social services, and then in regards to staffing from the ECE side, we have a number of positions. We have a regional mental wellness coordinator. And then in Fort Providence, we also have a mental wellness student support worker and an Indigenous health and wellness worker. And then in Kakisa, we have staffing in progress for an Indigenous health and wellness elder. And, sorry, just the way it is -- in K'atlodeeche, there is a contracted counselling services in place, but there's also staffing in progress for a wellness worker. And then in -- did I miss -- no, I think I'm good. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay, thank you. I'll go to Member from the Deh Cho.

Okay, that's good. I was looking for that, because we did have one in Fort Providence before, and she left, and I thought -- I wasn't sure if there was one hired since then, and that's good if there has been because it's very important for the children at the school to have some kind of mental supports if, you know -- in the smaller communities, we're dealing with a lot of negative impacts, and these impacts must be affecting the children that are going to school which affects their education levels and stuff. So the mental health piece of it is very important for the communities.

I guess I wanted to know -- but as long as -- like, there's one there. So the other question I had was for -- I don't know if we're on that one yet but treaty simulation, what is that?

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, that is funding that was awarded to the Gordan Foundation. And treaty simulations are an experience that allow participants to negotiate and implement treaties firsthand to -- sorry, to understand what it would be like to do that and to participate in that. And so they're learning from treaty experts, making new connections. It's often youth working together. So it was a grant afforded to Gordan Foundation to be able to carry out this work. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. I'll go to the Member from the Deh Cho.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So it doesn't look like it's funded anymore, correct? Because it says the actuals from 2023-2024 is 26, and then it goes from the mains there's nothing, nothing, nothing. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So it was a one-off grant that was awarded to the Gordan Foundation to help support work that they did, and they participated in experts -- sorry, they supported youth to participate in that program, and they had experts from the territory as well that had experience in treaty negotiations sit at the table with these youth and were able to do this. It was done in 2023 and a pretty remarkable experience for these youths. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from the Deh Cho.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like, you said it was really remarkable thing to do and it would be good for the kids to know, in the North, what the treaties are and how they work. So is there future plans to have it -- to do something like that again or to get some more funding for that? Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, it wasn't ECE that organized it. It was the Gordan Foundation that organized this work. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. I'll go back to the Member from the Deh Cho.

Thank you. I don't have any more questions. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Monfwi.

Thank you. Inclusive schooling, there's a change in -- from previous to upcoming budget. If the Minister can explain why there's an increase. I mean, it is good, but I just -- I think I would like to know why, if the Minister can explain why there's a change within the budget.

Okay, thank you. I'm going to go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, within that line item, we had the movement of our school-based mental health and wellness over -- that was moved -- that was previously in our junior kindergarten to grade 12 education system services, and it was moved down into the inclusive schooling section, and then in addition to that, we also have adjustments due to the UNW and the NWTTA collective agreements. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from Monfwi.

(audio) section. Thank you.

You're good? Okay. Thank you. Is there any other Members? I'm going to go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to start by just following up on my colleague's line of questioning from Great Slave on the school-based mental health counsellors.

So can the Minister confirm, is the program now set -- I know there was a lot of changes, a lot flux happening for a while because it was changed rather suddenly at the beginning of a school year -- I guess it was probably the beginning of the school year for 2023-2024, and so there was a lot of kind of not knowing what it was going to look like next, how it was all going to shake out. Is it fully shaken out now? Is it like what we see now is what we're going to get for school-based mental health counsellors, or is it still a work in progress? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
