Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. In regard to the constituents I represent, there are two diverse languages, Inuvialuktun and Gwich'in, which are taught in the community of Aklavik. Yet, there is a real shortage of funds to implement these cultural programs in the educational

system. The district education authority of Aklavik has been hiring language and cultural specialists to teach local languages programs throughout the year with limited resources. Under Section 118, subsection (K1), the Education Act allows the education bodies to hire teachers or persons who are not teachers for the instruction of local programs. Can the Minister clarify if the language and cultural specialists fall under this program?
