Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the question of how we support languages in the school system, we provide the Dene Kede program, the Inuuqatigiit program. We also provide to the DECs and DEAs the ability to offer a choice of aboriginal first language within the schools. There are a multitude of areas in how we address this. First of all, the DEAs and the DECs are local people elected and appointed from the communities. They have a direct input into the curriculum development and are able to input into the curriculum. We are looking at increasing our aboriginal numbers of teachers, and we have language specialists in the schools.
Our school contributions to aboriginal language and culture is $5.6 million, Mr. Chair. We have teaching-learning centres, and classroom assistants, and cultural programs. Thank you.
