The Senate will vote Tuesday on whether to introduce Inuktitut in some of its
proceedings, debates and meetings.

The groundbreaking pilot project, proposed by a parliamentary committee report
tabled April 9, would have Inuktitut interpreters stationed in the Senate
chamber and in two standing committees.

With the committee's report on the Senate's agenda for Tuesday, its proponents
say it will likely be approved. It would make Inuktitut the first aboriginal
language to be represented in the Senate. Other aboriginal languages may be
included in the future, committee members say.
