MOTION 3-17(2): ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES SECRETARIAT

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Friday, February 17, 2012, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that the Government of the Northwest Territories re-establish a permanent secretariat for Aboriginal language services;

And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories consult and develop interim measures to improve the Aboriginal language services, with the full involvement of the existing interpreter- translators in Northwest Territories communities who speak different dialects;

And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories seek such additional funds as may be required for the secretariat for Aboriginal language services from the federal government, as a matter of urgent necessity and equity;

And furthermore, that the government provide a comprehensive response to this motion within 120 days.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
