Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I realize that we don't have a lot of time, so I'm just going to throw a couple of questions out.
Either of you can feel free to answer, as you see appropriate. The first question is on the reasonableness of the time frame.
Senator Patterson, during your time in Northwest Territories politics, I'm curious as to whether there was any notice period or whether there it was simultaneous, as a member spoke.
Second—more generally and more to Senator Patterson, I would suspect—are you provided currently with any additional resources, through the Senate budget, for your own communications with your constituents in Inuktitut or in other indigenous languages, in terms of emails or newsletters—we have householders on the House side—and do you have resources such as that for translation?
Finally, regarding the cost factor, are you aware of the cost of the current pilot project in the Senate?
Those are my three questions. I'll throw it open for you to reply as you see fit.
