Thank you for the generous offer of supporting us to be able to do our work more importantly. When and if we need it, we will and have been reaching out to various members of Parliament and letting them know about the indigenous language legislation, the mandate of the commission and where we are in building up the commission.
They have all indicated, much like yourself, the willingness to support us. We know that the willingness is there, and we are very grateful for it. When we need it, we will come forward and seek that support, while protecting the independence of the commission and the integrity of that independence.
