Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In honour of the motion that we undertook on Thursday here, I spent my weekend at the arena watching hockey, particularly watching teams from Tulita and Norman Wells in a Peewee hockey tournament.
Mr. Speaker, whether or not the department would be divided in two is something that we are going to consider over the next year-and-a-half and make recommendations to the next government. We are looking at perhaps making a recommendation that would see the department split along the lines of the two ADMs in the department right now, which would include employment and income support in the language and culture side.
We are finding that it is actually quite useful to have the language and culture component in the department. It helps us to strengthen the ties between language and culture in K to 12 schooling, and it helps us to make sure the college is aware of the importance of language and culture, too, and helps us to work with them to strengthen the Aboriginal Language and Culture Instructors Program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
