Mr. Speaker, I have a return to an oral question asked by Fred Koe on the status of the teacher education program in the Beaufort/Delta region.
The GNWT has submitted its 1993-94 proposed budgets on February 10, 1993, under the Canada-NWT cooperation agreement for French and aboriginal languages in the NWT to the Secretary of State of Canada. The community teacher education proposal for the Beaufort/Delta was one of the aboriginal language development projects submitted in the GNWT proposal.
This process may be delayed and funding levels reduced due to the ten per cent cuts proposed by the federal government which were mentioned in my statement of February 24, 1993. All attempts will be made to ensure that funding is secured prior to the end of the current fiscal year. Thank you.
