Thank you, Mr. Hanley.
I recently changed roles. I'm now the director general of the implementation sector, but I have worked with Yukon first nations on developing their own vision for education in the Yukon for their children. That has meant, as you say, the First Nation School Board and the Yukon First Nation Education Directorate.
In their self-government agreements and their modern treaties, Yukon first nations have jurisdiction over the provision of education programs and services for citizens choosing to participate. Self-governing Yukon first nations also have the ability to assume responsibility for the territorial programs and services. That being said, to date they have chosen to focus on a First Nation School Board and also the Yukon First Nation Education Directorate, which is funded through Indigenous Services Canada's education partnerships program to the tune of about $2.8 million annually.
We have seen successes in first nation programming on the land and through language and culture, which has been introduced into the school system.
