I can answer that to some degree.
Currently, in two of our four regions—Nunavik and Nunatsiavut—the main sources of formal, dedicated language funding that exist are through the aboriginal languages initiative program that is administered by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
As far as we can determine, the bill proposes replacing that program with a languages commissioner's office. The language commissioner will have duties that may or may not positively impact Inuit and Inuit language efforts to revitalize, maintain and promote our language. With an absence of the only current source of dedicated federal funding in at least two of those regions, you could argue that the proposed provisions in the current bill would, in fact, be a step backward for those two regions.
