(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question directed to the Minister of Justice. I believe in the aboriginal languages being implemented in the Northwest Territories, and I also ask questions in my native language. I wonder if court documents, particularly summons for court appearances have always been translated into Inuktitut. Mr. Speaker, the unilingual people who have to attend court do not understand what kind of summons they have been issued. Mr. Speaker, using the Official Languages Act, can the Minister in the future get the documents translated into Inuktitut or into any other aboriginal language which is being used in the Northwest Territories? Can we hope to have these translated into Inuktitut in the future? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
