We're on clause 44 on page 27 of the act. I want to be sure that everybody has a copy of what we're talking about. When we dealt with this clause there was a motion on the floor; however, the mover of that motion is not in the House today, I don't believe, and can't withdraw it, so we have to deal with this motion. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Koe.

Thank you. The amendments that were made by Mrs. Marie-Jewell were made to try to get some clarification or certainty in terms of defining a person who is not a teacher or is not certified to teach, to be employed to teach or assist in teaching official languages and culture. That was the intent of the proposed amendments. I guess because the mover is not here, we will have to deal with these clauses. In addressing this, I'm going to oppose this motion and bring in another amendment under clause 61, which would address the intent of this motion. Thank you.

(a)renumbering clause 61 as clause 58; and,

(b)adding the following after clause 58:

Language and Traditional Knowledge Instructors

(a)is fluent in that language;

(b)successfully completes a test for that language administered by the education body; and,

(c)receives orientation in teaching methods as provided by the education body.

60.(1) An education body may hire a person who is not a teacher to instruct or to assist in the instruction of local programs, including, but not limited to, land skills, art, crafts, local customs, local spirituality or other subjects of local cultural significance.
