Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true language is an extremely important part of the northern culture. There is a great deterioration of aboriginal language usage, which has been happening over the last 20 to 30 years. There is a need to address it very strongly. The territorial government is looking at an aboriginal language strategy. I believe some consultations have already taken place. Plans are for further discussions on this matter before the end of March. Thank you.
