Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department encourages all divisional educational councils and DEAs to ensure that they are undertaking appropriate activities under the aboriginal language and culture instruction part of the instructional day. We've issued a directive that requires that any funding that they get for aboriginal language and culture education be used in certain ways. The use of elders in the classroom is clearly one of the ways we have identified to be a good use of the money. But just as we don't actually make the decisions about hiring teachers in communities, we don't make decisions about which elders they would hire in the community. That's left to the DEA and the DEC. They are also responsible, then, for determining the pay or remuneration or what they would find appropriate for the elders in that community. Thank you, Madam Chair.
