Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. During the past year, communities have made requests for funding to assist with aboriginal languages projects to various departments. In most cases, they have been told there is no funding available. For example, I could use the Elvis Raddi workshop in Coral Harbour and the Baffin Regional board shortfall. After the quarterly allotment was changed to a monthly grant, they were looking for money to develop the Inuktitut curriculum for their schools. Can the Minister responsible for this funding explain how the government can tell communities that no funding is available, yet lapse more than $1 million?
