Another critical initiative we are taking is a lobbying campaign with the federal government and national aboriginal organizations to shine a light on the plight of aboriginal languages and secure additional funding to support them. I hope the Members of this House will support and join us in our endeavours in this regard too.
Mr. Speaker, we will work with the language communities to determine individual priorities and assess demands. Once this work is undertaken, the comprehensive plans will be written, including implementation plans and timelines. This will be tabled in the Legislative Assembly and will be a document that we will be accountable to over the coming years.
Mr. Speaker, when I speak my own language, I reflect the values of my people. I connect to our past and secure our future. It is my wish, and the wish of this government, that all our people may do the same if they choose, that anyone who wants to learn their language is assisted to learn and that anyone who wishes or wants to teach their language is supported to do so.
Mr. Speaker, again I thank the members of the Standing Committee on Government Operations for their report and I look forward to tabling the response later on today. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
