"The Prime Minister said in speeches last June that revival of indigenous languages was “essential” to help solve social problems on reserves, including youth suicide. "
What nonsense.  Let's get real here. Well taught English or French will solve their social problems as they will be able to live anywhere in Canada, get higher education,  and work anywhere.
Are we seriously going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to preserve 60 languages that have no widespread use and are therefore slated for extinction?  If it isn't useful, it should be allowed to disappear.
It's ridiculous that we spend money on other heritage languages as well.
Our tax dollars should be spent on French and English instruction only.
It is the responsibility of the parents to preserve heritage languages, not the state.
