(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also wish to recognize this special day for aboriginal languages. Mr. Speaker, first of all I have a short comment. When I was trying to get elected as an MLA, I stressed the fact that I would be pursuing aboriginal languages in the House and I am very proud to be able to speak in my first language. Recognizing all the interpreters here, who speak different languages, I am very proud to be one of them. I also celebrate this special day, being an aboriginal. I am very pleased, Mr. Speaker, when I have to travel to other communities to attend meetings, there are always people who can speak my language and I can use my language through interpreters during these meetings.
