Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the honourable Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, subsequent to my Member's statement that I made earlier in my language, I would like to ask the Minister...While Nunavut Caucus was meeting in Gjoa Haven a lady made a presentation to the Caucus -- incidently, the lady has been working as an Inuktitut teacher for many years -- and one of her concerns that she brought to our attention was the teaching materials in Inuktitut used across the board in the eastern Arctic.
Mr. Speaker, the teaching material in Inuktitut is written in one dialect, although dialects differ from region to region. According to the lady who made the presentation, the teaching staff from Netsilik area literally have to translate the material into the appropriate dialect. My question to the honourable Minister is could the Minister communicate and seek advice from the Kitikmeot Divisional Board of Education to see what can be done to address the need in the Natilikmiot area. Thank you.
