Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I am sorry to ruin the theme day here, but I want to talk about a different topic.
As members are aware, it is Indigenous Languages Month and the Members may not be aware but the UN also declared 2022 to 2032 the international decade of Indigenous languages. I think this is a monumental event, and I'm always happy when I hear Members of this House speak in Indigenous languages. My colleague from Boot Lake, the Member for Yellowknife South I've heard, of course our Member for Monfwi, and I think that to mark not just Indigenous Languages Month but the international decade of Indigenous languages, that as an Assembly we should take this opportunity and every Member of this Assembly should take an opportunity to speak in an Indigenous language at least once during this Assembly. I think that we can have all 22 21 Members of this Assembly having used an Indigenous language in this House, and I think that would be absolutely amazing and something to be proud of. So, Madam Speaker, I challenge all Members, including yourself, to use an Indigenous language before the end of this Assembly. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
