Thank you. The work that we are doing with the money, the $600,000 that was provided by the Assembly last year, is developing a program that is beginning as a diploma program. That would be to make adults proficient in Indigenous languages to the point where they could become interpreters, translators. We envision, after that two-year diploma program, perhaps a third year that could be interpreter-translator training. I have the same vision as the Member, I believe, in terms of utilizing the polytechnic to really become leaders in Indigenous language revitalization. Thank you.
