Official Languages committee  It's always difficult, because Yellowknife is a microsociety. There are lots of organizations. People quickly end up being overworked when they get involved in a number of different causes. It's always difficult to ensure stability in terms of volunteers.

Official Languages committee  In my opinion, it is an omnipresent reality. Since we have no employees, I'm all alone. Tomorrow, I have two sugaring off activities with the schools. After a long struggle, I was finally able to find two people to help me. It may not seem like much, but you have to get the necessary equipment there.

Official Languages committee  It is certainly my intention to go and see them. Last year's festival really gave me lot of momentum. There was great feedback. We were in the Spectacular Northwest Territories magazine. Now it will be really easy to approach the City of Yellowknife and other partners, because they believe in us; we have a lot of credibility.

Official Languages committee  The Miroir sur la francophonie nordique festival takes place on August 14 and 15.

Official Languages committee  There are almost 10 artistic workshops presented by local artists. What we do is present a profile of Francophone communities in the North, with several countries. There was an African music group, Mediterranean grilled food, and a hot air balloon. The following day, we celebrated Acadia by again organizing artistic workshops with local singers, and so on.

Official Languages committee  There are repercussions to this. You lose your staff and professional burnout quickly affects the employees that remain. When you are at the point where you have to use your personal credit card, as you can well imagine, there is already quite a bit of accumulated stress. There will be very positive results if you move forward on this.

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much.

Official Languages committee  No.

Official Languages committee  Not while I've been in charge.

Official Languages committee  Absolutely. For regular programming and the regular, set project…

Official Languages committee  We are talking about Canadian Heritage, the Arts Council, and the SAIC.

Official Languages committee  I have no idea. It's because of government bureaucracy.

Official Languages committee  I have no idea. I am not in their office, obviously. I have absolutely no idea how the process works.

Official Languages committee  It was a pleasure.

Official Languages committee  Clarity is always preferable.
