Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment in its 2012-2013 budget has a number of new initiatives, two of which are a new kindergarten curriculum and measuring children’s development in kindergarten. Those are good, but it’s not all of what is needed. If we wait to start early intervention until preschool or kindergarten, we’ve missed a huge opportunity to address any health or learning issues at an age when intervention can really make a difference.

As my colleague Mr. Bromley has often told us, brain development begins in the womb and continues at a rapid...

Okay, we will move on to detail. We will turn to page 11-7, which is deferred until we’ve considered the rest of the budget. We’ll move to 11-8, information item, infrastructure investment summary. Seeing no questions, we’ll move on to page 11-9, information item, revenue summary. Seeing no questions, we will move on to page 11-9, information item, revenue summary. No questions. We will move on to page 11-10, information item, active position summary. Any questions on this page? We’ll move on, committee. Page 11-13, activity summary, corporate services, operations expenditure summary, $10.228...

Thank you. Page 11-18, activity summary, airports, grants and contributions, contributions, $30,000.

I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear the Minister. Could he repeat that?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Menicoche.

Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Ramsay.

Thanks for the information. I would look forward to that. I guess I would just, as the Minister stated, if these can be combined, it certainly is a more efficient way of doing business. The guidelines certainly probably could be combined to cover everything that is there. Just a comment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question here in regard to the Nunavut-NWT agreement for museum and archives collection. We are spending, I presume from here, $190,000. I wondered where the revenue shows up. I presume Nunavut is paying us for this service. I didn’t see it on the revenue page, I think page 9 of the document. It didn’t show it to me. Could I find out where it is shown? Thank you.
