Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then could I presume that any further correspondence in regard to funding for language communities, especially where there is significant Metis population, will reflect the fact that they are in there and not left out?
The other thing is, given the questions and concerns, could the Minister provide me with the more detailed breakdown for aboriginal community funding levels for 2000-2001 that would indicate, to me, so that I could see how they added the Metis population and mixed them in with the Dene population to get the numbers they have?
The indication I had yesterday talking to the President of the South Slave Metis Tribal Council, Mr. Harrington, was that they were not included. I received the same information from Mrs. Biscaye, who is doing some work for the Akaitcho territory on their Chipewayan language strategy.
So there seems to be some confusion here, and I would appreciate the information so that I could sort through that and make sense of the situation. Thank you.
