COMMITTEE MOTION 23-17(3): SENSITIVE TERMINOLOGY AROUND OFFICIAL LANGUAGES, CARRIED
I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories refrain from the use of the word “regime” in documents concerning official languages;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories consult with residential school survivors and Aboriginal language communities on other terminology that may act as a barrier for Aboriginal people in asserting their rights under the Official Languages Act;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories ensure that public servants are aware of the sensitive terminology in speaking and writing in the area of official languages.
A motion is on the floor. To the motion.
