Madam Chair, I appreciate the Minister’s flexibility on taking this question, because sometimes it gets into the courts and to legal services. So I just wanted to know if there is some legal aid training for the interpreters or translators. Sometimes we just pick them off the streets in our communities and we tell them to translate, and sometimes they’re hearing some pretty detailed, sensitive descriptions of some of the crimes, and sometimes they’re traumatized or sometimes they internalize some of the stuff. Sometimes they just don’t have that proper training to interpret properly what the lawyer or the judge is saying. So it gets very complicated and sometimes they make mistakes. So I just want to give support to those translators and interpreters who we do ask. Sometimes we pull them off the streets in our communities and say, well, you’re probably the best of the translators/interpreters, can you do this for us?

Is there any type of program in the future with the funding that you have, Mr. Minister, to look at some type of interpreters’ court training for the region? We have some pretty good interpreters that could be trained in the region that can go with the circuit. We have a couple in the Sahtu that would be just awesome, because they didn’t train before the government. So I’m looking for that type of initiative from this Minister. Thank you, Madam Chair.
