Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, Mr. Chair, my colleague from Range Lake is not wrong. Certainly I am a huge proponent of positions, particularly senior positions being not centralized in Yellowknife, but being in the regions, such as the regional director position, which I would love to see as an ADM position. I would love to see many ADM positions or any new ADM positions moved to the regions and/or new positions go to the regions. Having said that, I don't want to delete money from this budget. I know the department has done their diligence on why they want it. I do question and I would fight tooth and nail about having it in Yellowknife. If you have an Indigenous languages ADM, that Indigenous languages ADM should reside in one of the regions where the majority of the Indigenous languages are being spoken. So and I think, you know, that position would sit very nicely in Inuvik or in Behchoko or in the South Slave, or in Dehcho. There's places that that position can be supported.
So yeah, and all due respect to my colleague from Yellowknife Centre, I understand where he's coming from, I don't want to delete the money from the budget but I, again, will fight tooth and nail to have this position put in the region where I think it will be properly housed. Thank you.
