Why is that? We have an aboriginal population which makes up the majority in the Northwest Territories. Yet, when it come to languages, how come the French, which is a minority group, have funds? We have many people who are illiterate who still depend on aboriginal languages, especially the concerns raised in this House with translating services, people going on medevacs and not knowing where they are and what they are doing, and needing someone there to assist them in their language. That should be a priority item.
