Mr. Speaker, I have a report dated January 1995 from the legal interpreting program that shows the staggering number of hours and communities that interpreters have, through this program, have offered in various levels of courts in the Northwest Territories. This is a major undertaking that has been entrusted to the legal interpreting program by the courts. It has the confidence of not only judges but prosecutors and the lawyers. I would like to ask the Minister how this service can possibly continue to be provided on a part-time basis by the official languages unit which has a myriad of other duties. Thank you.
