No, Mr. Speaker. I believe that what is occurring is an indication that there is obvious support for clear responsibility on the part of community and education board, Aurora College and Nunavut Arctic College.

The other component that one must recognize is that in the case of Inuktitut it is generally my view that the responsibility for the training of Inuktitut translators should rest with the institution for which that language is better served. In other words, Nunavut Arctic College would be the best agent for the delivery of that training program.

It would be no different in the case of Aurora College; for instance, Fort Smith, at the moment, is involved in teacher education that deals with language education. The campuses that are involved, whether it is in Yellowknife that delivers Dogrib interpreter training or whether it is in the Gwich'in area or the Inuvialuit, the fact is that there are presently organizations or institutions that are available to us that can better deliver the program. I want to assure the honourable Member that it is certainly not our intention to gut the program, but to improve the ability of this government to deliver or streamline the approach to the delivery of training for our interpreters/translators.
