Mr. Speaker, it was our view that the federal government had the intent to substantially reduce the amount of money it was providing to us under the languages agreement. As Members may know, there has been, in fact, a huge reduction in the amount of money that the federal government is now providing to this government for support of the French language and aboriginal languages. It was in anticipation of that, that the Department of Justice reviewed the operational requirements of the people who are funded through this program and decided that, at this time, those two positions would be the ones that would least affect the delivery of services at the community level. These are the reasons we have given notice to terminate those two positions. Thank you.
