Steven Nitah Tu Nedhe

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to make one correction. I'd just like to read the last paragraph of the motion. It reads, "further that this plan include partnerships with language communities and the need to link language development in the school and at home." Mr. Krutko had used the word "aboriginal" communities, and I just wanted to ensure that the language communities includes other official languages other than aboriginal. Thank you, Madam Chair.
