Mr. Chairman, again, in regards to our languages, they are basically almost nonexistent because of the decline of the use of those languages. Because of that, which was one of the main findings of the 14th Assembly but now

we are in the 16th Assembly. It was eight years later

and we are still trying to find some reasons and realizing that the challenges of trying to retain or even save some of these languages is a dismal point in our history. I think we have to do everything we can to either find additional money or whatnot or even trying to find ways of how we can work with the language groups to find ways to enhance those languages and also being able to revive them so that they are used more often in the homes, in the communities and in the workplace. Again, I think that, for me, this issue with the people I represent in regards to the Gwich’in language and in regards to the Inuvialuit, the regions I represent is one of the areas where we are finding the biggest loss. I think

that I would like to see more emphasis put in especially those two languages. What is the department doing to work with the Inuvialuit and the Gwich’in to try to find ways of retaining and also enhancing their languages?
