I do, Mr. Speaker, want to emphasize "that I am not taking issue with the airline staff using French or English as a second language." What I am questioning is a total omission of Inuktitut when it is the first language of the majority of the passengers.

Mr. Speaker, I have spoken to the flight attendants about this matter in an attempt to have it corrected. I have been told that it is out of their hands and that the decision has come from headquarters. Mr. Speaker, I'm not referring to the fact that the flight attendants do not speak Inuktitut, I'm referring to the fact that at this time they do not even use the pre-taped recording.

Mr. Speaker, I would appreciate it if the honourable Minister of Transportation would review this matter and report back to this Chamber regarding his anticipated assistance to all Inuktitut-speaking residents of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Matna, mahsi cho.
