Thank you. Mr. O'Reilly.

Now we have a deadline for a yes or a no. My next questions is: because the society has limitations, will the Minister's regional office assist the society in working with the Department of Infrastructure to certify the building, as the Minister mentioned earlier, for the assistance

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, my questions are directed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, the current Norman Wells daycare center is fully furnished, and the power remains hooked up. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the Minister for the previous letters of support submitted to the new daycare society. I'm very encouraged by this new society of young parents, long-term residents, and their new energy to get this centre up and running. My first question is: the society has submitted to the department an application for start-up funds. When can...

None. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I recall here last year that there were some collaboration efforts on designing a joint program between A New Day and the centre. Can the Minister explain if that is under way?

Mr. Speaker, these services and programs are...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I support this appropriation, knowing that they are putting a budget there with the three categories of work, exercise, so I'm satisfied with the numbers, and basically just stating my support. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. To the appropriation, I just shared my recent trips, and recent trip here over the last couple of days here to finish off the engagement session for two of the communities that were postponed here back in mid-August. When I review the presentations here made by the infrastructure project team to the public and the leaders, advising them that this would be the schedule, knowing the fact that some of the workload is only accessible for this winter, or any other winter for that matter.

I view this bill or this approval process as a timely one to support the work program that...

Thanks to the Minister for that information there. It is good to see that these are being offered, and I am hoping that the inmates are taking advantage of these opportunities.

My next question, Mr. Speaker: on the issue of trades or GED, can the Minister explain the success on how many inmates have enlisted in these two categories?
