Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Education. In November, 1992 there was a band motion on the interpreter/translator position being relocated on the reserve. Since the building on the reserve was to opened in March, I wrote a letter to the Minister on March 3, requesting him to relocate the South Slavey interpreter/translator position to the reserve. The response was that it would happen after the amalgamation of Education, Culture and Communications, and so on. The last letter I received was in November, 1992.
The response said that because the department was looking at reorganization and they were evaluating the positions, they weren't willing to consider the request at that time. This was one year ago to date, November 22. I would like to ask the Minister whether this evaluation has already been done one year later and whether there is an openness to -- through the community transfer initiative or other means -- transfer the translator/interpreter position to the Hay River reserve?
