SOMBA K'E/YELLOWKNIFE - Aboriginal language speakers may soon have an easier

Dan Daniels, deputy minister of education, said the tender seeks to identify
where services would be needed and what the offices might look like.

facilitate the (delivery of) information on different services," said Daniels,
who added individual departments would still be responsible for meeting their
language obligations.
