Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just so it is absolutely clear, first of all, the definition "given languages of instruction" means that all subjects are to be taught in that language. In other words, whether you're teaching math, science or languages, they must be taught completely in that language. That's the basis of the definition. There has to be some quality of instruction if you're going to deliver a program in that language.

In other words, if the Deh Cho divisional board decides they're going to teach all subjects in Slavey, then the individuals must be able to teach all subjects in that language. If there are other language programs, then they are in addition to the structural components that have been agreed to. That is what this is saying; we're basically allowing the district education authorities to make that decision and that decision should not rest with the Minister, to determine this matter.

What we're trying to say here is there are standards, there is a quality requirement, and then we can assist in the decision making by the district education authority. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
