Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct my question to the Minister responsible for Personnel. Each department has a budget under the Canada/NWT agreement on French and aboriginal languages. It's had that for some period of time. The Department of Personnel has dollars set aside for advertising under that agreement and yet there appears to be very few French advertisements appearing in any of the newspapers and particularly, Mr. Speaker, the French newspaper, L'Aquilon. It's a weekly newspaper which goes to all of the major communities in the territories where there are French speaking people. I'm sure they would be interested in jobs that this government has to offer. I'd like to ask the Minister, why is that situation as it is, that they are not using the French newspapers for advertising?
