(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think that the world is shaped like a heart. Mr. Speaker, as children we went to school in Chesterfield Inlet, perhaps, before the other Members from the communities that are represented here were born. When we were in Chesterfield Inlet, we were encouraged not to use our aboriginal language and our parents, when we went home, could not speak English. When we attended school in Chesterfield Inlet, we were taught the English language and then when we got home to our communities, we were encouraged to speak our language. I would like to thank today's government because they are responsible for teaching the aboriginal languages, in particularly Inuktitut. As well, I want to thank all the teachers who are responsible for teaching the Inuktitut language.

Another topic with regards to what Mark Evaloarjuk was talking about as he was referring to different types of snow. I appreciate this as well because we have different meanings as well. Mr. Speaker, when we get into the Nunavut government, the Inuktitut language will be the working language and I am very proud of this. As well, with regards to our children, they are being taught the Inuktitut language and they are also being provided assistance through the government for their education curriculum, which is provided in the Inuktitut language. Language is part of your heritage. It shows who you are. When we are at home, we do use our language, but when we are in different communities, we have different names for different items or different things, maybe even with the land. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
