Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We should realize we have a distinct number of aboriginal languages. We have aboriginal communities that are staying with those languages. In most cases in the 32 communities in the Northwest Territories, the money does not really meet the needs to serve all of those communities and all of those different language groups.
We can look at the French languages, where they receive truckloads of money poured into that. However, when it comes to aboriginal languages, they are scraping and clawing for funding. We are dealing with a crisis situation. We should treat it as one.
This government should come forward with legislation that ensures there is a separate system or regime to impose this legislation, so is has the teeth and the dollars to make it go. Will the Minister come forth with legislation to find ways to ensure the dollars we have and the dollars we need are made available for this emergency?
