Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. The other issue that was raised earlier by my colleague from Yellowknife dealt with the language issue, specifically French, and Mr. Antoine raised the issue of aboriginal languages. Some of the documents leading up to this new act state that we're trying to make the act fit in line with the Canadian Charter and also with the new Northwest Territories Officials Languages Act. We say in the preamble that students may receive their education in one of the official languages of the Northwest Territories Act. I believe we're trying to recognize language rights for aboriginal languages
that would be similar to those provided for French and for English minorities.
There's some concern that maybe in the act that may not be fully achieved. When we get to the specific clauses, especially dealing with aboriginal languages, there seem to be restrictions on what can happen when we deal with aboriginal languages. I would like some comment from the Minister on this aspect of aboriginal languages.
