Thank you. So I'm seeing right now there's a reduction to OROGO's budget, and Madam Chair, if we could take a sort recess and we can sort of I can speak with the Minister of Finance and perhaps legal counsel and figure out this situation. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Thank you. So we might be able to provide some information on where that money was distributed to.

In terms of success, I'm not quite sure what is meant by that. It's a little hard sometimes to measure success because you might have someone who is stuck in a firstyear apprentice because there is no one to, you know, mentor them for their secondyear apprentice. So there are some issues there.

But noting that Tlicho region is not part of the North Slave, I will see if we have a list of where this money has gone, with that breakdown. If it doesn't, we will do our best to provide that at a later...
