I have been working with Darius Cassidy from the Yukon in regards to seeing if they can look at a similar process that we have formulated in this House by way of forming a languages committee or commission to look at how we deal with languages over here and have passed on information on previous commissions we established, because they are in the same dilemma we are. So I am glad to hear from the Minister that he is working with his northern colleagues, because I think that is the approach that we are going to have to take in order to get some attention to this issue, because, I mean, no offense to the French, but they used the constitutional argument but I think we also have to use the argument under Section 91 and also Section 35 of the Constitution, which talks about preserving and protecting aboriginal culture and not only looking at the rights but looking at the cultural side of aboriginal people.

Again, I would like to thank the Minister for that as I think it is important we do whatever we can. But I was looking more in light of some sort of special

fund we can establish so that we basically are able to do unique things to enhance those languages. I think one of the areas we have to really focus on is in regards to the younger students, either in preschool or kindergarten, and work in that group taking it through the education system. I think that is one way and I think that is the avenue we have to focus on to actually get those children educated in their language, using their language but use it as they move on and make it more of a working language in those communities. Because I think one thing that we found talking to other language organizations, regardless of whether it is Welsh or other languages around the world, is that you have to be able to develop it into the curriculum and find that as a means, and also into peoples’ homes. Again, I would like to encourage the Minister to try to find unique types of funding, regardless if it is through federal funding or whatnot, to try to retain or enhance those languages that are being threatened. Thank you.
