Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, (Translation) I have a question regarding interpreting and translating services. Today we look at the Northwest Territories, we're having difficulties getting interpreters.

Sometimes although we do have one interpreter here, there may be one here too, but they are very busy. We have young people that are in school. They are thinking of getting into this career. (Translation ends)

...importance of interpretation services here in the North, especially in this Assembly. We're at a critical point where the GNWT must consider re-establishing in-house interpretation and translation services which could be located in regional centres. There is a clear need for the GNWT to work with Aurora College to reinstate interpreting and translating program for aboriginal languages, including specializing in medical and judicial terminology, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Charles Dent, can the Minister indicate to this Assembly how successful the past or previous interpreting/translating courses through Aurora College were and a positive outcome out of the program? Mr. Speaker, I can tell you that there are a few that I can mention in my region that have gained positive out of this program. Mahsi.
