Mr. Chairman, yes, it is important to highlight this key area. We are losing our language quite rapidly, but this is an area that we continue to work with the regions in the communities, in the Member’s riding of course, and also I think we need to stress that there is another partner that is in play. That is the federal government. I will certainly continue to pressure the federal Ministers in this respect. I have made a commitment in this House to continue putting pressure on the federal government, because it is their responsibility as well, official and heritage Ministers. At the same time, we as a territorial government continue to contribute towards whether it be the TLCs in the communities, the official language group of revitalization, just for them to provide us more information and how we can improve our program. Part of the strategies that I just highlighted on Aboriginal Languages Strategy, of course we will certainly capture that, Mr. Chairman, the nine official aboriginal languages that we need to tackle. I certainly would like to hear input from all communities and all regions on a moving-forward basis. Yes, we will continue to put our effort in that area. Mahsi.
