I am sure my honourable colleague recognizes this is a national policy and, while we all respect and understand the sensitivities of languages, that it would be difficult, I would suggest, to get the federal government to consider perhaps looking at the north in a slightly different way than they look at the rest of the country. I did bring the matter up to the Department of Finance in our discussions and to date I have not had a response. Thank you.
