Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to a question asked by Mr. Gargan on February 13, 1992, and it deals with the French/English admissions clerk at the H.H. Williams Memorial Hospital in Hay River. Mr. Speaker, I have looked into the matter and the information that I have is that the H.H. Williams Memorial Hospital provides interpreter services for its patients as follows: Cree and Slavey languages, by staff members, who are compensated accordingly; Chipewyan language, no service available from staff members. Therefore three members of the community are paid to provide the service as required; French language, the hospital is attempting to recruit a French/English clerk in order for the hospital to provide service in French in addition to the English, Cree, Slavey and Chipewyan services already in place. The funding for this French/English position is received from the federal government under the Canada-Northwest Territories Co-operation Agreement for French and Aboriginal Languages.
