Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. As this House knows, I am a true supporter of anything that contributes to the health and strength of our Aboriginal languages. NCS, the Native Communications Society, is valuable and also contributes towards this.

Again, there is no doubt that those talented individuals have worked for the society, as well, and learned from NCS over the years. We fully support that as government, for their contributions over the years.

The Member does put in a very interesting idea about how we can move forward on providing the training to these northern broadcasters. I have instructed my department to work with NCS possibly developing some sort of a training package. Not only that but identifying those students that may be pursuing this at post-secondary. It will consist of northern broadcasters, Aurora College, Aboriginal organizations to keep the language strong. Those are the individuals that I need to coordinate with.
