Language & Culture
15. We call upon the federal government to appoint, in consultation with Aboriginal groups, an Aboriginal Languages Commissioner. The commissioner should help promote Aboriginal languages and report on the adequacy of federal funding of Aboriginal-languages initiatives.
This Government of Canada site gives a breakdown of what they've been doing re: Language & Culture Calls, and while it looks like the government has been taking steps in this regard, as of yet no commissioner has been appointed specifically for Aboriginal languages. We have an Official Languages Commissioner, Raymond Théberge, but his scope doesn't expand beyond English and French.
