New Official Languages Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor – says protecting Indigenous languages to make sure they are taught to future generations is a priority for the Liberal government, alongside promoting French throughout Canada. She said although Indigenous languages are not recognized as “official” like English and French, she will work with other ministers to make sure they receive support and resources so they “don’t become extinct.” Petitpas Taylor said she supports Indigenous MPs who want to speak in the House of Commons in their mother tongues. Her remarks follow the decision of Nunavut MP Lori Idlout to take her parliamentary oath in Inuktitut.
