Thank you, Minister. Questions. Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess part of my question was: how was this spread across the NWT? The funding, is it located, say, mostly in Yellowknife? Is that where most of the applications come from, or is it equally distributed? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Members, I will now call the committee back to order. Next up, we have the Member for Nunakput.

Thank you, Member. Minister.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Thebacha.

Thank you. Next item will be income security beginning on page 45, with information item on page 48. Questions. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Are you considering changing that ratio, as well, to, say, maybe three or four or five apprentices per journeyperson? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. For the final question, well, first of all, it's good to hear that, in a sense, there is extra money in the budget, money that may have not been spent. Is the Minister willing to look at extending the term for third- and fourth-year apprenticeships, as well, to add another year on? I would like to see the money be spread out a bit, and it will really help small business, as well. Will you consider subsidizing third and fourth years, as well? Thank you.
