Even though immigration and settlement are federal responsibilities, the Province of Saskatchewan has a mandate for education, health and social services. The provincial government must take these mandates seriously and play an active role in the co-ordination of existing ESL programmes and initiate new, more specialized programmes. It must be responsible for the development of curricula and materials and monitor and evaluate the programmes delivered in our province. As far as the English language provision for Indian and Metis children and adults is concerned the provincial government must accept its share of the responsibility for the development of a policy on bilingual education; a policy which promotes the retention of the Indian languages and strengthens the provisions for English as a Second Language/Dialect programmes.
