We’re on page 10-37, information item, Arctic College, funding allocations. Agreed?

The other question I have is around the area of official languages and funding in that area in regard to the review that took place and the recommendations that have been put forward to this House. I’d like to know from the Minister and the department are we going to see any increases going forward in regard to the implementation of those recommendations and the proposed changes to the structure and delivery system of the official languages, and more importantly, the language organizations and operation of official languages in the Northwest Territories.

Next I have Ms. Bisaro.

Mrs. Groenewegen, I think you can also ask your question under page 10-19, education authority contributions, which is basically talking about program funding for education authority. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Minister of Education, Mr. Lafferty.

Next I have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions are on the cultural organizations and I know that there have been requests put forward to the Minister from the cultural organizations in my riding, asking for an increase in regard to the funding they receive that doesn’t really keep up with the costs of inflation and trying to retain staff. So I’d just like to ask the Minister, have they looked at the possibility of increasing the contributions that are being derived for cultural organizations in the Northwest Territories.
