Mr. Speaker, it is the intention of this government to look at ways in which we can better deliver the training component required within language services. We are looking at having the training component that is decentralized, delivered by one of the departments; probably the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. We are keeping in mind that we have to deliver basic language services under our legislation. It is true, as all Members are aware, that there are substantial cuts being made to our funding by the federal government, not only to the annual amount given to us as a government, but also specific programs. The one most recently illustrated is the massive reduction in funding that the federal government is willing to give us for French and aboriginal languages. Thank you.
