Thank you, Madam Chair. To approve official languages and accountability we recommend the following: Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Minister responsible for official languages consider establishing a small official languages secretariat by reprofiling existing resources, to provide a single point of access regarding official language matters and a focus for accountability within the Government of the Northwest Territories; and

Further that the official languages secretariat report directly to the Minister and carry out the following management and policy functions:

- Liaison with the French and aboriginal language communities;

- preparation, monitoring and evaluation of the official languages implementation plan and evaluation framework;

- liaison with the Bureau of Statistics;

- negotiation and management of the Canada-NWT cooperation agreement;

- management of contribution agreements with the official language communities;

- operational support for the aboriginal languages board;

- operational and leadership support for the establishment of one-window service centres;

- support the development of official languages regulations and policies; and

- intergovernmental relations regarding languages.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
