Thank you, Mr. Chair. In speaking to this motion, I want to support my colleague, Minister Cleveland in this position, but I also want to support the remarks of the MLA for Monfwi how important this position is. It's a leadership position in this government, and I find it funny that we're having a motion on the floor of the House to talk about a senior leadership position in this government for language and culture, somebody that's going to lead the way for this government and provide the best expertise to the Minister for language and culture. So when we talk colonization, when we talk reconciliation, this is the discussion on the floor of this House. I just find that really funny and it's kind of -- after today's statement on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and how we need to work towards reconciliation, that we have this sort of discussion. We need a leader, we need a senior leader, and we need this type of position for this government for Education, Culture and Employment. And I don't want to get into the operational issues of location or type of position, but the Minister will lead the way, and this is what she's proposing in the budget. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
