Mr. Speaker, today I'm going to be talking about land transfer or title transfer. I want to draw some attention to a problem people face getting certificates of title transferred in Tlicho region.

Mr. Speaker, there are people in my riding who are living in houses on land they should rightfully own but they cannot get a certificate of title to prove their ownership. There are about over 50 members in Tlicho region. They live in a house for over 20 years with no legal title of ownership. This then would make the person or a person, people, a squatter, and this is a shame. There's over 50 of them...

(audio) section. Thank you.

Here the part-time, we don't even have anything for part-time too as well. We have full-time but nothing for part-time. And even for North Slave, you know, like there's nothing there. So it would be nice if there was something, like even part-time, instead of a visiting worker. We just need somebody there long term to help improve the education outcome for our students. Thank you.

Okay. So if you agree with me, then hopefully next fiscal year we will see one of these North Slave region -- North Slave positions transferred to Tlicho region, in the near future, within the lifetime of this 20th Assembly. Thank you.

Is there any plan in the future, maybe within this, to transfer any of those positions to Tlicho region? Thank you.

I know that in the regional centre they have -- you know, like, listening to my colleagues, there's a lot of issues with early learning and childcare, especially childcare, you know. I, you know, listening to them, there's a major issue. So how much of this are being spent in the regions? Like, for example, the region I represent and there's the Deh Cho, Sahtu, and Delta, because we've all been saying that, you know, education outcome is not really that good and then early learning is really important. Is there a breakdown somewhere in the budget where how much of that money is being spent to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to acknowledge and recognize our Tlicho interpreters Maro Rose Sundberg and Jonas Lafferty. I know Jonas is probably not here with us, but my condolences for the loss of his younger brother. And all the interpreters that are here, that are working and preserving our Indigenous language. They are the language keepers, and so I would like to recognize. And we're going to be taking a week break and that we all have a safe travel. And I would like to recognize all the ladies over here from the women's society. And also I hope I get it right Elaine, Ms. Boucher...

Thank you. Child and family services, here within the budget, you know, 2023-2024 it was like 4.46. Are we on -- I'm on page 205. Okay, so there's an increase from 46 -- from that time and then 2024-2025 and then there was a -- it revised -- the budget was revised -- the estimate was revised. And then 2025-2026 went to 52. I don't know if this is good or bad because, you know, child and family services. So is this -- okay. So I know that this takes care of the -- you know, the -- all the NWT. And so how much of this is for child and family services program that are for the children in care and...

Thank you. Masi, Mr. Speaker. Community learning centres are currently staffed by full-time community adult educators as well as visiting instructors. Can the Minister explain what will happen to these jobs once the centres close? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I'll do this in my language for the opening comment -- I mean for the opening of the statement.

Mr. Speaker, [No translation provided].

Mr. Speaker -- I'll do it in English now -- a few days ago, last week, in response to questions about the closure of the community learning centre, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment mentioned that a GNWT in What We Heard report and the 2024 facility report. Mr. Speaker, we can see from these reports that learning centres are at the heart of college programming in small communities. Of the 19 centres being closed, the facility report...
