Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am surprised by some of the comments by some of the Members. Some of the notes that I am receiving. I think it is anywhere between 15 to 20 positions that we are talking about. If anyone wants to say, on the record, that people are telling them they want to be laid off, I would like to see that. I have not had anyone phone me, telling me they wanted to lose their jobs. The second point, Mr. Roland says the social programs have not considered this motion. I have written the social programs committee twice, and I respect that they brought it up in their meetings. I asked for the committee to have a presentation for Mr. Dent on this proposal. I have spoken to the different language communities about Inuktitut language services. They were not in support of losing the interpreter/translators. Mr. Barnabas made a point that the interpreter/translator services and the Language Bureau are more than just interpreting and translating. I would

rather have someone working at $60,000 a year than have to go and try to get this book here translated at $30 or $40 a page. At the proper time, Mr. Chairman, I will ask for a recorded vote on language services and we will see how it goes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
