The hon. parliamentary secretary to the minister of Indian affairs is going to address the House next.
I wish to inform the House that the hon. parliamentary secretary is going to address the House in his language. I was apprised of this and there is no impediment to using a language other than the two official languages in the House. The hon. member has taken care in this sense and has provided the interpreters with a complete translation of what he is going to be saying to the House. The hon. member has informed me that he will be strictly adhering to the text.
Therefore, I see no impediment to this, providing that all the steps have been taken so that all of us will know in either of the two official languages what is being said to the House.
With that I recognize the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
