(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When we ask questions, sometimes we ask them in our language. I do not always have much to say, however, I wanted to stand using my dialect in Natilikmiot. Being aboriginal languages day, I wish to express my appreciation to Natilikmiot people who have been preserving their dialect and their language. I appreciate those hard working people in the government and the government in Ottawa, as we try and preserve our native language. I appreciate the funding they give to us for preserving our language. MLAs appreciate this day, recognizing that it is an aboriginal languages day. Thank you very much, my colleagues, and Mr. Speaker.
