Thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So just to be clear, were staff listing the organizations that are losing money this year? Is that -- she kind of characterized it as those are the organizations we fund; I was asking who is losing money.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that would just be Aurora College.

Okay, thank you. I'll go to the Member from Great Slave -- sorry, Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a lot of lakes around here; it's easy to mix them up.

The other question that I have Mr. Speaker -- or sorry, Mr. Chair, is other post-secondary institutions. So there's funding for College Nordique and the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning. I note that there is no funding in that line item this year. Does this mean that we are not making any contributions to Dechinta or College Nordique, or is there more to that story? Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we have made contribution agreements for years now to College Nordique and Dechinta, but they're unfunded, so you wouldn't find them in line items here because we just see the value in them, and we find ways to make it work. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maybe the Minister could help enlighten me as to how we come up with money for something that is unfunded and if we are coming up with that money, why on earth are we not simply just putting it in the budget? Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in order to do something like that, what I would be -- and stop me any time if somebody else would like to take this one. But I would have to go to FMB and specifically request for those line items if I wanted to do it where it appeared in the budget on its own line items. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, with the last minute that I've got here, maybe perhaps what I'll do is, you know, I thought the Member for Yellowknife North made an excellent case for Dechinta in her Member's statement the other day, and certainly I met with this organization, and what the -- what the president of that organization highlighted for me is just that any money that went to Dechinta, particularly in additional money, the things that they could do with dedicated funding would be to employ elders, employ educators, but in particular people -- knowledge holders, Indigenous knowledge holders, up and down the Mackenzie Valley. And I think that is exactly the kind of thing, that kind of employment, that many members from our communities speak to. So I think that the payoff for funding Dechinta would be huge, and I think it would be dollar for dollar a very good investment, so I just want to make that case. I should probably do a Member's statement of my own on it. And I'm out of time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay, thank you. Next on the list I have is the Member from Great Slave.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Earlier the Minister highlighted that the wellness counsellor is -- the wellness program for school-based mental health and wellness counsellors is captured in this activity. Could she tell me which line item that would be? Thank you.

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

Thank you very much. Sorry, just one moment, please.

(audio) back to (audio).

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to make sure that I was telling truths over here. It's found in the inclusive schooling line item.

Okay, thank you. I'll go back to the Member from Great Slave.

Great, thank you. That's what I anticipated, but I just wanted to make sure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

So as the Minister knows, as all Yellowknife MLAs know, there is great interest in our communities' schools around this program and its success. So can the Minister tell me how many schools in the NWT have these programs and what the uptake is? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, every single school in the Northwest Territories participates in this program in one form or another. So if the Member wants further details, I'd be more than happy to share them.
