As I mentioned, the NWT Official Languages Act has clause 21(1) that says, "The Languages Commissioner shall investigate any reasonable complaint made to the Languages Commissioner..." and it goes on, "...if any of those complaints that deal with the status of an official language was not or is not being recognized, any provision of any act or regulation relating to the status and use of official languages was not or is not being complied with, or the spirit and intent of this act was not or is not being complied with." When I look at that, there are language provisions even in the Education Act and the administration of the affairs of the Department of Education, as it says in another section, deals with students going from here to other institutions. I guess I do take a very broad interpretation of that. If NWT students are funded by this government to go to another institution and they are having trouble there, if I can help them in some way, then I will, to promote an understanding by those other organizations. I approached it as an education issue and it was a language issue arising out of education. These were students funded by the Department of Education. That is why I felt if I could help
resolve a situation and have students avoid some sort of failure, that would be something I should try to accomplish if I could.
