Mr. Chairman, this is a very important area for our department. It is one of the priorities to revitalize our official languages more specifically on the Aboriginal languages. We have nine Aboriginal languages in the Northwest Territories. That is the very reason why we have initiated this Aboriginal Languages Strategy. The session that we’ve had last year, March and April, the whole purpose was to capture and also revitalize our Aboriginal languages. I totally agree with the Member; there are recommendations brought to our attention and tabled in the House here. We are currently working on some of those recommendations from within our department to expenditure and planning for next year’s budget as well. Mr. Chairman, it is in the works that we will continue with that to revitalize our Aboriginal languages. That is the key aspect within our department. Mahsi, Mr. Chairman.
