Thank you. That will be nice. That will be a good comparison. I think I stated in the last session that there is $1 million for francophone language and $1.9 million for aboriginal languages, which works out to about $1,000 per francophone and about $100 per aboriginal. I would like to look at it differently from another table. I do not think that status has changed.
In the Akaitcho territory, there is a language strategy that has been developed. Mr. Miltenberger and I had met with Sabet Biscaye this morning to discuss it. Some of the information that was given to us was kind of disturbing. There was a letter that Mr. Miltenberger referred to earlier in the day, signed by Pauline Gordon, assistant deputy minister, Department of Education, Culture and Employment. Some of the words she used suggest that the funding is going to be reduced. There is no encouragement that funding is going to improve. We need funding to save our languages. The language is the key to culture. The culture of the Dene people is based on language. It is disturbing to see this. I will give you an example. I will read one quote;
"Where a reduction in funding is required due to a revision of the population estimates, 50 percent of this revision will be applied to next year's budget and full reduction will be applied to the following year's budget."
They are anticipating the budget being reduced, not increased. When we talk about the language community, what do we mean by that? Do we mean people that speak a language and it does not matter where they live? Or is it the community where a language is predominantly spoken? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
