Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the reason for moving this motion is, I have not seen widespread support for the layoff of the interpreter/translators within the Language Bureau. The reason for moving this motion is to try to have the department revamp and find out from the language communities if and when they want to do this. Going into division, we believe the Language Bureau is doing a very important job for the Inuktitut language and culture in our region, therefore, we need these positions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
