Madam Chair, the culture and careers branch provides a broad range of programs and services related to culture, arts, heritage, museums, language, career development, employment development, support programs to colleges, continuing education and income support. Madam Chair, under operations and maintenance, salaries and wages, the Language Bureau. There has been, for example, in the Nunavut region, only one French translator who lost their position through downsizing.

Madam Chair, my question to the Minister is how can the Minister rectify this situation when we do not have French translation services available anywhere in the Nunavut region.
