Thank you.

I want to listen to Inuktitut, so I will ask the two Inuktitut speakers. I enjoy talking in my own language.

What would you propose as a recommendation to change and to improve the Indigenous Languages Act if it's going to be promoted more in our communities and to be more widely understood? How would you go about improving it, Karliin and Kitty?
