Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I talked about this very important program well used by the courts, which is receiving growing demands, I mentioned that there is a 1-800 number that is available to legal interpreters to call if they are having difficulty, while they are interpreting in court, with legal terminology. I have just heard the Minister say there is no intention to reduce the commitment, the service delivery -- and I have heard the same thing from the Minister of Justice -- and I would like to ask the Minister if he will assure this House that the 1-800 number, which I am told is very valuable to interpreters who are working in court, that they can call for assistance if they are interpreting in court in another community, will be preserved when this program is transferred to Arctic College, which is what the Minister indicated would happen. Thank you.
