Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are in a position now where the Aurora College is at an arm's length relationship from the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. That being said, ECE does provide funding for interpreters to support training through the interpreter-translator funding program, and there's also connections with other jurisdictions to explore possible training options for future interpreters. And I think it's also worth noting here the Indigenous language instructor employment plan that is currently a pilot within the Beaufort Delta and the Deh Cho regions as well in the territory. And this pilot focuses on the recruitment of Indigenous languages instructors in the Northwest Territories and provides Indigenous language speakers with the opportunity to stay in their community while they're developing language skills to become successful language instructors. So I think that's another key program. And there's currently five pairs taking part in that program in the territory. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
