Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now, I'd heard directly from the teachers' association that they were concerned about ECE kind of whittling away at professional development and mentorship opportunities for teachers. And I'm not sure exactly where that might show up in this budget but they mentioned, for example, the New to the North orientation. So teachers that are coming up here and new to the North, they got a more sort of in-depth orientation to the North and helped them get settled in which would be good for the teachers themselves to have a welcome -- a warm welcome and also really good for communities that they might become based in for them to have a better orientation and sense of the North and its history and its people.

Another one mentioned was the education leadership program. Specifically, that's for principals and that being whittled down.

And they also mentioned that the mentorship program for new teachers or teachers who are just starting out in their careers as being whittled away so that the program no longer pays for substitute teachers, so they have to kind of do it on their own time.

Can the Minister speak to any of those kind of reductions in opportunities for teacher professional development. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
