I am not in power to ask for that particular witness in my department. We will have to wait for the other departments to appear before you. The Legislative Assembly is responsible for official languages, if you remember the decision that was made at the 12th Assembly.

As I stated, Mr. Chairman, we are participants of the reduction in spending in order to balance the budget two years from now. We are participants of that one, however, I stated in my presentation, just a few minutes ago, I said that we will make a special effort to assist clients with information about other funding program sources, how to access them, and give them ideas for fund raising from the private and volunteer sectors. There is other cultural organizations, or culturally oriented programs, such as federal Secretary of State, U.N.E.S.C.O., and other organizations that other agencies use. What we are saying, is that we are not backing out from it, because we are also lacking funding to fulfil all the obligations, or all the other requests from Northwest Territories. What we will say, is that because we are short of funding, there are other agencies elsewhere in Canada, or abroad, who are interested in assisting with the item, exactly what Mr. Gargan is talking about.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
