We are making drastic changes to our contributions even before big changes from previous years. Some of the areas that we’ve transferred on to Aboriginal governments… There are approximately seven different areas of initiatives that we’ve transferred, working very closely with the community governments, and that is languages program, regional and community-based Aboriginal literacy activities, there are Aboriginal language acquisition projects, $93,000 of $143,000 budgeted. There are teaching and learning centres that we have to deal with through education authorities. There’s also Aboriginal language culture-based education that’s also administered by education authorities. Aboriginal language terminology. Also, the last one is Aboriginal Languages Strategic Initiative of $360,000. These are some of the initiatives that we felt should be at the community level, at the regional level, and we’ll continue to push that forward with other initiatives within our department as part of empowerment on to the communities.
