Madam Chair, to build human resource capacity in the official languages, we recommend the following: Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Minister responsible for official languages work with the aboriginal language communities to expand the development of regional and/or territorial certification standards for interpreter/translators and provide training for interpreter/translators in the regions;

Further that the initial focus be on health, social services, justice and other areas of regional priority; and

Furthermore that training be tied to forecasted employment and business opportunities arising from increased official language service delivery. Thank you, Madam Chair.
