Thank you, Mr. Chair. We can get the breakdown of all these programs to the Member or interested Members. We do go through a cycle. We do go through the business-planning cycle where requests like those also can be made before the main estimates are printed. In terms of more specifics on the main estimates, when we do print them maybe we can talk with Department of Finance on when they're printed out. However, we do also have a public accounts document that's tabled in this House every year. In that document all the programs the government has is able to get specifics on amount of dollars that...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We give all the education authorities targets to meet every year and then they supply us with what they feel are going to need to do the work. A little more detail, I will actually ask my deputy minister to get into a little more detail.

Yes, we're not making any reductions to the Literacy Council. We do fund them up over $900,000, as stated yesterday. That does reflect a lot of programs throughout the Northwest Territories, but at this moment, no.

Thank you. Some of those programs are listed under income security but for some of the other ones that he was asking there are some allocated in fees and payments as well. If the Member would like a further breakdown we can provide that to the Member, of dollars that have been allocated for all of them. It is in the description report we are funding all areas that he's having these questions about, it's just under the operations expenditures summary. It's in income security as well as fees and payments. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did give somewhat of an explanation yesterday. We will go back to my assistant deputy minister, Mr. Olin Lovely, to get into a little bit more detail. Thank you.

I'll go to my assistant deputy minister, Mr. Lovely.

Yes, look forward to working on that piece of legislation and seeing where we can go. Obviously, we had some Members here in the House earlier, or some of the graduates in the House here today and some of the staff, and I think that they will be happy to hear that they got strong advocates of Regular Members on this side that are constantly asking. We all will be looking at moving that piece of legislation and seeing the work in consultation that needs to go into it. Thank you.

I believe that budget line item is under Industry, Tourism and Investment. Thank you.

Thank you and we'll take that as a comment. Thank you.

Yes, the North Slave is here in Yellowknife, and Tlicho is in the Tlicho communities. Also, some of the other communities up here in the North Slave region. We do have an office here, and then Tlicho also have their TSCA and they take care of their communities.
