Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon, honourable colleagues. Welcome back after a short summer break. Mr. Speaker, I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those delegates from the communities who are taking part in the official language conference, in particular, those delegates from my riding of Nunakput.
They are Agnes White of Tuktoyaktuk, Agnes Kuptana of Holman, Roger Kuptana of Holman and Emily Kudlak of Holman. I am sure they are raising the concerns of the people of Nunakput and are bringing forward good suggestions as well.
Mr. Speaker, our aboriginal languages and different dialects in Nunakput are all alive and still used substantially in some of our communities. Many people not only speak the language but live it as well. We hope the results of this conference will see much improved recognition of this fact. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
