Thank you, Mr. Chair. What I understand from that answer as I was quickly taking notes is that the increase doesn't take into account that there will be a certain percentage of increase of the number of people collecting income assistance in the next fiscal year? Is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like the Minister to remind us how it is possible to hire this ADM with no increase in the budget for compensation and salaries. Well, excuse me, there is a $3,000 increase in the budget. How is it possible to hire this ADM with only a $3,000 increase in the compensation and benefits segment of this budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Thursday, March 7, 2019, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that Tabled Document 237-18(3): 2018 Review of Members' Compensation and Benefits Report, be referred to the Committee of the Whole for consideration. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am now going to move down the list to inclusive schooling. I see an $800,000 decrease in the amount of money allocated to inclusive schooling. Can the Minister please explain that change? Thank you.

Thanks to the Minister for that answer. I understand that the Manufacturing Strategy isn't to conduct the business, but to assist the businesses that are going into manufacturing or expanding it. It is my understanding from discussion in this House last fall about the Manufacturing Strategy that there would be no money attached to it. Is that still the case?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What is the impact on children themselves of this change in funding? It sounds like it is primarily administrative. Is that correct?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. I would like to ask him when he is planning to table the Manufacturing Strategy. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess the only thing that I find surprising is that money is allocated for one purpose and used for another. That doesn't seem to be sound business practice, even for an arm's-length organization. I am wondering why that is. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions relate to page 41, starting with early childhood development and learning. I notice that there is an $800,000 decrease from the revised estimates for the current fiscal year compared to the next fiscal year. I am wondering if the Minister can tell us why funding in this area has gone down. Thank you.
