I want to talk about indigenous languages, because I know there's funding in the budget for that. According to census 2011, there are over 60 indigenous languages in Canada, and three of them account for almost two-thirds of the population who have an indigenous language as their first language. Since this is an important issue going forward, I'm curious as to how your department will look at moving this issue forward. Will it be the languages that are used most often? Will it be done regionally? Will it be a mixture of the two? What is the fate of languages that are spoken less often, such as Michif in Manitoba and Saskatchewan?
