MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES MONTH

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This month we celebrate Aboriginal languages. Last year I had the pleasure of addressing the House in the Tlicho language. This year, Mr. Speaker, it will be my honour to pay tribute to the South Slavey language.

Thanks. There’s more.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to thank my teacher, who is also a translator here for the House, for helping me. That’s Mr. Jim Hope. Mr. Hope, mahsi.

Once again, a big thank you to the South Slavey culture for letting me share their language today. It was an honour and a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.
