Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I hope that, because we have a very important act here -- which gives any resident of the Northwest Territories the right to access information if the act is passed -- the public body, the deputy minister and any employees of the government who have the discretion to give information will not try, by any means or any fashion, to deter or deny a person who is not able to speak or read English. That's my concern. I hope that person who is unilingual, either Dene or Inuk, will be able to access information in the same timely fashion as a person who is able to reach English or French. Just a comment. Thank you.
