Government Orders

Madam Speaker, I just returned from the traditional territory of the Kyuquot First Nation and Coast Salish First Nation.I really enjoyed my colleague's speech.She touched on the issue of future rights. Article 13 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples deals specifically with the right of indigenous peoples to transmit their language and oral traditions to future generations. Two-thirds of indigenous languages in Canada are currently threatened. In other words, dozens of languages are at risk.How much support will the federal government be giving these resources and languages so that these oral traditions and languages can be passed on to future generations?
