MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON TLICHO WORKSHOP ON CULTURE AND LANGUAGES PRESERVATION

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. [English translation not provided.]

Mr. Speaker, today in Gameti there’s a gathering of elders from the four Tlicho communities to share their ideas, wisdom, experience and planning for future generations. Mr. Speaker, there are approximately 80 elders selected to talk about the culture preservation, the language preservation for the Tlicho region and with respect to the wildlife as well. They talk about the respect of the wildlife as well.

Mr. Speaker, these are the professors of this great land. We must hear them out and they teach us about the wisdom, the stories, the respect of each other and pass on the stories to the future. I look forward to the outcome of their report. There is also a youth conference happening the following weekend. Even though I’m not there, I will be supporting them in their endeavours.
