Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment is responsible for education, and I believe that is where his role should be. We hear from the people in the Deh Cho that they want to prepare and present programs which are strictly in their aboriginal language. We have seen it with the Dogribs in the Sahtu, such as Deline, where they have been able to do that with their curriculum. This government is responsible for developing that curriculum and ensuring the money that is put forth is being used in that particular area. It should not be moved around from one area for someone else to say that language is not important to me because I think you should learn French.
