Mr. Chair, when we toured the community, it has been... I saw some positive outcomes out of it where the language spoken by the students, they can’t leave their classroom until they say a word every day. It was fascinating to observe. Those are areas we are seriously looking at through our funding criteria. The Member is asking if the money or the funds that have been lapsed could be used towards that. It would all depend on discussions with aboriginal groups. We do have representatives from, I believe, the Member’s riding. They can certainly bring that information back to their discussion table. If it’s important to them, then they can certainly make that a priority. So we will continue to push that, Mr. Chair. This is an important initiative that the school is pursing and we’d like to see more of that in other schools, where they speak the aboriginal language in a class setting. Mahsi.
