Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, I'd like to thank the people, especially the committee members, for coming here to listen to us. This is very important for us in the north, in Nunavut especially. You have a lot of good questions, and I also encourage you to call our office, because I'm based here in Ottawa. If you need more information, give us a call.
In terms of Inuktitut usage in the schools, I'll give you an example from the community I'm from. I'm from a small community of 700 to 800 people in Arctic Bay. The students there start school at kindergarten. At that level and up to grade 3 they're taught in Inuktitut only. In grade 4 they switch to English. Can you imagine switching yourself into some language that you don't understand?
