Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, has the department followed up on a question that was asked in committee, which was to look at the whole area of language specialists in light of the amendment to the Education Act that allowed the French school here in Yellowknife to be accepted into that process in which they fall within the Public Service Act.
I would like to ask the Minister, under the present Education Act, there is a definition of a teacher. Teacher is clearly defined as an employee, a teacher who teaches from kindergarten to grade 12. The aboriginal language specialists are teachers in that term. I would like to ask the Minister, when will these teachers be able to see the same benefits as all other teachers in our schools?
