Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister explain a little bit more about the school of community governments. How is that -- is it a department or a division of the organization? If so, how many people work there, and what are the duties of this group?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, so the community government learning and development division is basically a division that organizes and supports training for communities. I think there's about four to five people located in Yellowknife, and four regional TDAs, or training and development advisers. So what they do is develop and deliver training programs. So, for example, water treatment plant. We do firefighting training. We organize public works type training, teaching people how to operate arenas, pools, offer finance governance,aa and a whole host of other community training. So thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Further to my colleague's question here, the school of community governments, you do training for the people that run the arenas, organize staff, they organize community -- well, I guess they would need training for all of that. Are there qualifications that they need to have specific to this job? Like, the qualifications for the job, to do the job when they get hired on? Because you're training them how do use all this other equipment, but is there training they need for this? Like, schooling for -- to apply for a job in this area? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For those positions, you know, being the technical part that they are, they would need certain qualifications in order to train, like facility maintainers or, you know, the firefighter training, stuff like that. So those -- the trainers would need the training, and also the people on the ground would need the training to operate the water treatment plants, the facility maintainers, and the other programs that are offered. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is that a recreational coordinator hired by the municipality or by the GNWT?

I would have to say that's depending on what the job description is for the facility, rec facility maintainer. I mean, some facilities or some municipalities like Fort Simpson, for an example, you know, being a bigger facility would need a recreational coordinator or recreational facility maintainer more qualified than some place like a recreational coordinator in, let's say, Jean Marie River for an example. So, yeah, depending on what kind of facilities they're operating is the type of training they would need. Thank you.
