The commissioner is welcome in the Yukon. I talked about the RCMP, which is under federal jurisdiction. They're right near here, on Main Street. I talked about immigration. Citizenship and Immigration Canada is a federal department. I also mentioned Radio-Canada, which is also under federal jurisdiction. In that case, it's just as well to address federal issues. Certain issues falling within the Yukon government's jurisdiction require addressing, but try to imagine the situation. We are just a small team and we have to fight institutions, immense organizations.
In the cultural field, we have only one director and he's assigned to culture and youth. Imagine the resources we have to deploy. For years now, we've tried to negotiate on a friendly basis with the federal and Yukon governments. We have filed a number of complaints about the RCMP. Our newspaper is currently in trouble because the institutions don't abide by the letter of the law. Last Friday, the federal government published a major advertisement in the Yukon News. It was in English on top and French on the bottom. That's an insult to our community. What does that mean? That we have to assimilate and buy the newspaper in English in order to read information about the federal government? It's shameful that these kinds of things can still happen in 2011. You have a role to play, to ensure that the federal government does its job in Yukon.
