On February 21, 2017 Bill 38, the Nunavummi Nangminiqaqtunik Ikajuuti Implementation Act, received first reading, and I was pleased to review this bill with the Standing Committee on Legislation on March 9, 2017.

ᑕᕝᕙᓂ ᕕᑉᐳᕆᐅᕆ 21, 2017 ᐱᖁᔭᖅ38, ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖃᖅᑐᓄᑦ ᐃᑲᔫᑎ ᑲᔪᓯᒋᕐᓂᖓ ᐱᖁᔭᖅ, ᓯᕗᓪᓕᖅᐹᒥᒃ ᐅᖃᓕᒫᑕᐅᓂᖃᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᒻᒪᑦ. ᖁᕕᐊᑦᑎᐊᖅᐳᖓ ᑖᓐᓇ ᕿᒥᕐᕈᓇᒃᑕᐅᒍᓐᓇᓚᐅᕐᒪᑦ ᑲᑎᒪᔨᕋᓛᓄᑦ ᒪᓕᒐᓕᕆᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᒫᑦᓯ 9, 2017-ᖑᑎᓪᓗᒍ.


(interpretation ends) This bill provides the necessary support for the new NNI Policy by providing legal authority to specific provisions, a regulation-making power to make the NNI Policy binding, as well as clarity on certain matters where there may be a conflict with other GN legislation.

(ᑐᓵᔨᑎᒍᑦ) ᑖᓐᓇ ᒪᓕᒐᒃᓴᖅ ᐃᑲᔪᖅᑐᐃᔾᔪᑎᖃᖅᐳᖅ ᓄᑖᒥᒃ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖃᖅᑐᓄᑦ ᐃᑲᔫᑎᒧᑦ ᐊᑐᐊᒐᕐᒥᒃ ᒪᓕᒐᑎᒍᑦ ᐱᔪᓐᓇᑎᑦᑎᓂᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᓗᓕᓪᓗᐊᑕᖏᓐᓂ, ᐊᑐᐊᒐᓕᐅᕈᓐᓇᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᑕᒪᓐᓇ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖃᖅᑐᓄᑦ ᐃᑲᔫᑎᒧᑦ ᐊᑐᐊᒐᖅ ᒪᓕᑦᑕᐅᒋᐊᖃᓕᕐᓗᓂ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᓱᖅᑯᐃᓇᖅᓯᒋᐊᖅᑕᐅᓪᓗᑎᒃ ᒪᐅᓇ ᐊᐳᕈᑎᖃᖅᑐᓂᒃ ᐊᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᑦ ᒪᓕᒐᖁᑎᖏᓐᓂᒃ.


This bill also recognizes and empowers the bodies created by the policy, namely, the tribunal and the review committee.

As my colleagues are aware, there have been concerns raised regarding the binding nature of NNI Tribunal recommendations under the new NNI Policy.

This legislation provides the NNI Tribunal with more authority, which will further ensure compliance by government contracting authorities.

This bill is necessary because we have determined that there are provisions in the NNI Policy that should be supported through legislation and not simply through policy or even through changes to regulations under the Financial Administration Act.

In fulfilling our obligations under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the new NNI Policy was developed collaboratively with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated.

This collaborative process allows the parties to address overarching concerns about the NNI Policy and its intended benefits.

We have also consulted with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated throughout this legislative project to ensure that our intent was fully understood.

This legislation demonstrates to Nunavummiut and to the business community our government’s strong commitment to implementing Article 24 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement by ensuring proper and full implementation of the new NNI Policy.

It should be emphasized that the proposed NNI Implementation Act does not introduce any provisions that are not currently in the new NNI Policy.

ᓇᓗᓇᐃᖅᑕᐅᑦᑎᐊᖁᔨᕗᒍᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖃᖅᑐᓄᑦ ᐃᑲᔪᑎᒧᑦ ᐊᑐᓕᖅᑎᑦᑎᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐊᑐᐊᒐᖅ ᓴᖅᑭᑎᑦᑎᖏᒻᒪᑦ ᓄᑖᒥ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖃᖅᑐᓄᑦ ᐃᑲᔫᑎᒧᑦ ᐊᑐᐊᒐᕐᒦᑦᑕᕇᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ.

It is our hope that Bill 38 can be passed before the coming into force of the new NNI Policy to ensure that the policy’s provisions have the necessary legal authority.

When any business submits an appeal for any contract they may have lost out on, does the businessperson have the ability to appeal that decision based on the appointee’s background or the fact that they are not representing all of Nunavut, as they have to review appeals for all of Nunavut?

As I understand, these tribunal members have to have awareness of the whole territory of Nunavut, otherwise it would seem like a harried response based on a frivolous appeal, as this language seems to indicate that any business appealing a contract has that right.

As members are very much aware, a number of these reports are the subject of televised hearings each year on the part of standing committees of the Legislative Assembly.

At present there is significant inconsistency with respect to statutory reporting deadlines for annual reports of independent officers.

For example, section 68 of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act requires the Information and Privacy Commissioner to submit an annual report “by July 1 in each year,” which is only 90 days after the end of the previous fiscal year.

By contrast, section 24 of the Official Languages Act requires the Languages Commissioner to submit an annual report “within twelve months after the end of each fiscal year.”

The purpose of Bill 41 is to create uniform reporting deadlines for the annual reports of our independent officers, which will achieve significantly greater consistency and predictability.

This is a reasonable time frame in which to produce a comprehensive annual report and it is a time frame which will allow for the annual reports to all be tabled in the House during its fall sitting.

I would also note that the Management and Services Board has aimed to help facilitate the timely preparation and submission of such annual reports by providing assurances to all independent officers that the board emphasizes the importance of the information contained in such annual reports, and does not expect them to incur significant expenditures of time and resources with respect to extraneous physical production features.

Bill 41 contains additional provisions regarding the chief electoral officer’s separate reports on the conduct of elections, by-elections, and plebiscites.

At present section 23 of the Inuit Language Protection Act requires that the annual reports of the Inuit Uqausinginnik Taiguusiliuqtiit (Inuit Language Authority) be submitted to both the Minister of Languages and the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly prior to being tabled in the Legislative Assembly.

Given that the members of the Inuit Uqausinginnik Taiguusiliuqtiit are appointed on the recommendation of the minister, it is more appropriate for the minister to be solely accountable for receiving and tabling these annual reports.

I would also note that Bill 41 does not affect the ability of independent officers to submit special reports on matters of concern to the Legislative Assembly at other times.

I wish to advise the House that I have received written notice under Rule 20(2) that the Member for Cambridge Bay intends to raise a matter of personal privilege under this rule.

Mr. Speaker, as elected officials and especially as cabinet ministers, we are scrutinized by the public and media quite a bit.

ᒥᓂᔅᑕᐅᓪᓗᑕ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑕᐅᑦᑎᐊᕋᑦᑕ ᑐᓴᐅᑎᑎᒍᑦ ᐱᕙᓪᓕᐊᑎᓪᓗ ᑕᐃᒫᒃ


Over time we learn to develop a pretty thick skin and just roll with the punches that are thrown at us as we go about our duties serving the people of Nunavut.

However, there comes a time when enough is enough.

ᑭᓯᐊᓂ, ᐃᓛᓐᓂᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᓗᐊᓕᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᑦ.


Mr. Speaker, the media publishes a lot of stories that single out the work I do as a cabinet minister in this government. For the most part I live with facts that are published.

ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᑕᒪᒃᑯᐊ ᑐᓴᐅᑏᑦ ᓴᖅᑭᑦᑎᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᑕ ᒥᓂᔅᑕᐅᓪᓗᖓ ᐱᓕᕆᖃᑦᑕᖅᑐ ᐅᓄᖅᑐᓯᓂᖅᓴᐅᓪᓗᖓ ᐊᖏᖃᑎᒋᖃᑦᑕᖅᑕᕋᓗᐊᕋ.


Saying that, I feel I must address a recent story reported by Kent Driscoll which I saw on APTN’s national news website on March 9 entitled, and I quote, “Former Nunavut Premier asking why a report on RCMP being kept secret.”

ᐅᖃᓚᐅᕋᓗᐊᕐᓗ ᑭᐊᓐᑦ ᑐᕆᔅᑯ, APTN-ᒥ ᑲᓇᑕᓕᒫᒥ ᑐᓴᐅᑎᖏᑎᒍᑦ ᖃᕋᓴᐅᔭᒃᑯᑦ ᒫᑦᓯ 9-ᖑᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᑕᐃᔭᐅᔪᖅ, “ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᓯᕗᓕᖅᑎᐅᓚᐅᖅᑐᖅ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᓕᐊᖓ ᖃᓄᐃᒻᒪᑦ ᑲᙳᓇᖅᑐ.”


There are three statements that I believe are incorrect in the interview that misquote myself and could effectively and recklessly misinform the public.

ᑕᐃᒪ ᑭᐅᓚᐅᙱᒻᒪᑕ ᐱᖓᓱᑦ ᑕᐃᒫᒃ ᑐᓴᖅᑎᓂᓪᓗᑐᐃᓐᓇᕋᒃᑭᑦ.


In the video Mr. Driscoll states, and I quote, “The Government of Nunavut commissioned a report into civilian oversight of the RCMP.”

ᑕᐃᒪ ᑏᕖᒃᑯᑦ ᒥᔅᑕ ᑐᕈᔅᑯ ᐅᖃᓕ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᒥᒃ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᖁᔨᓚᐅᕐᒪᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ.


Mr. Speaker, neither myself nor the Government of Nunavut have commissioned a report into civilian oversight of the RCMP.

ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᖏᑦ ᓇᒥᓂᕐᓘᓐᓃᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᓕᐅᖁᔨᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᙱᓐᓇᑦᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓐᓂ.


I believe I clearly stated in both the October 18, 2016 and March 2017 Hansard that I have asked my justice officials to review what other jurisdictions do across Canada as it relates to oversight of police forces.

ᐅᖃᑦᑎᐊᖅᑰᓚᐅᕋᓗᐊᕋᒪ ᐊᒃᑐᕝᕙ 18, 2016 ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᒫᑦᓯ 2017 ᑲᑎᒪᔾᔪᑎᒥᓃᑦ ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᒪᓕᒐᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᖏᑦ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᐅᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᖔᑕᓕ ᑲᓇᑕᓕᒫᒥ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑕᐅᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓐᓂ.


In the written summary of the story on APTN’s website, Mr. Driscoll writes, and I quote, “The report investigated civilian oversight of the RCMP across Canada, and how that could work in Nunavut.”

ᑕᐃᒪ ᓇᐅᓈᖅᓯᒪᔪᒥᒃ APTN-ᑯᑦ ᖃᕋᓴᐅᔭᖏᑎᒍᑦ ᒥᔅᑕ ᑐᕆᔅᑯ ᐅᖃᖅᓯᒻᒪᔪᖅ ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᐸᓖᓯᐅᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᓚᐅᕐᒪᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᑲᓇᑕᓕᒫᒥ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᐱᓕᕆᓂᖅ.”


Again, there is no report and we did not investigate civilian oversight of the RCMP across Canada.

ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᖅᑎᖃᙱᑦᑐᖅ, ᐅᖃᖅᑏ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᖃᓚᐅᙱᑦᑐᒍᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓐᓂ.


ᒥᔅᑕ ᑐᕆᔅᑯ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓐᓂ ᑕᑯᔅᓴᐅᑎᑕᐅ.


My request to my staff was to review what other jurisdictions in Canada are doing for policing oversight.

ᑕᐃᒪ ᕿᒥᕐᕈᖁᓚᐅᕋᒃᑭᑦ ᐊᕕᒃᑐᖅᓯᒪᔪᓂᒃ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᐅᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᖔᑕᓕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓐᓂ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᖅ.


Again, I believe that is clearly stated in the Hansard.

ᑖᓐᓇ ᑲᑎᒪᔾᔪᑎᕕᓂᖅ ᑎᑎᕋᖅᓯᒪᑦᑎᐊᖅᑐᖅ.


A misconception might have occurred when I responded to questions on March 2 saying, and I quote, “It’s not a report I’m going to make public, but it’s an internal report…”

ᑐᑭᓯᓂᕐᓗᑦᑐᕕᓂᐅᑐᐃᓐᓇᕆᐊᖃᕐᒪᑦ ᑭᐅᓪᓗᖓ, ᒫᑦᓯ 2-ᖑᑎᓪᓗᒍ, ᑖᓐᓇ ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᓗᐊᓃᒻᒪᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᖅ.


Mr. Speaker, in the context of the discussion I was referring to, I asked my staff to gather information for me on what other jurisdictions in Canada do in relation to police oversight.

ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᑕᐃᒪ ᐅᖃᖃᑎᒋᓪᓗᒍ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᒃᑲ ᓄᐊᑦᑎᖁᓚᐅᕋᒃᑭᑦ ᐅᕙᓐᓄᑦ ᐊᓯᖏᓪᓕ ᐊᕕᒃᑐᖅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑲᓇᑕᒥ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᐅᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᖔᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᓂᖏᑦ.


That is all, Mr. Speaker, gather information by calling other provincial and territorial jurisdictions and do some basic Internet research.

ᑕᐃᒪᓐᓇᑑᓚᐅᖅᑐᖅ. ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᐊᕕᒃᑐᖅᓯᒪᔪᒃᑲᓐᓃᑦ ᐅᖃᓪᓚᖃᑎᒋ ᑕᐃᒪ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᕐᒧᑦ.


Furthermore, Mr. Driscoll states, and I quote, “Okalik requested the review of civilian oversight of the RCMP in 2016, after a high profile incident in Iqaluit’s cells.”

ᐊᒻᒪᓗᒃᑲᓐᓂᖅ, ᒥᔅᑕ ᑐᕆᔅᑯ ᐅᖃᕐᒥᒻᒪᑦ “ᐅᑲᓕᖅ ᑖᒃᑯᓂᖓ ᕿᒥᕐᕈᖁᔨᓚᐅᕐᒪᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᓂᖏᑦ ᓄᓇᑖ 2016 ᐃᖃᓗᓐᓂ ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ ᓂᒋᐊᓂ ᐱᓕᕆᔪᖃᓚᐅᖅᑎᓪᓗᒍ.”


Mr. Speaker, I reviewed the Hansard from when Mr. Okalik questioned me on October 18, 2016 and nowhere do I see where Mr. Okalik requested a review of civilian oversight of the RCMP. He does ask me if I, and I quote, “support the establishment of a civilian oversight body here in Nunavut, yes or no?”

ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᒥᔅᑕ ᐅᑲᓕᖅ ᐊᒃᑐᕝᕙ 18, 2016, ᐊᐱᖅᑯᑎᖓ ᑕᐃᒪᓐᓇ ᑐᒃᓯᕋᓚᐅᙱᒻᒪᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᔭᕆᐊ ᐊᐱᕆᔫᒐᓗᐊᖅ ᐃᒪᓐᓇ, ᐃᑲᔪᖅᑐᐃᕗᖓ ᑕᕝᕙᓂ ᐸᓖᓯᐅᙱᑦᑐᓄᑦ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑎᑕᖃᕐᓂᐊᕐᒪᑦ.


It is pretty clear in our exchange that I did ask my justice officials to look at what other jurisdictions in Canada were doing in relation to police oversight.

ᑕᐃᒪ ᓇᓗᓇᙱᑎᐊᕐᒪᑦ ᐅᖃᖃᑎᒋᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑏᑦ ᒪᓕᒐᓕᕆᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐊᓯᖏᓐᓄᑦ ᐊᕕᒃᑐᖅᓯᒪᔪᓂᒃ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᐅᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᖔᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑕᐅᓂᖏᓐᓄᑦ.


Moreover Mr. Okalik was referring to civilian oversight relating to comments from an Ottawa Police Service member on social media and not specifically to incidents in RCMP cells, as the story indicates.

ᐊᒻᒪᓗᒃᑲᓐᓂᖅ, ᒥᔅᑕ ᐅᑲᓕᖅ ᐅᖃᐅᓯᖃᓚᐅᕐᖓᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᐅᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑎᖃᕐᓗᑎᑦ ᐋᑐᕚ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᓕᕆᐊᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑕᐃᒫᒃ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓂᐅᙱᑦᑐᖅ.


It concerns me that the reporter tried to make it seem that I have commissioned a report into the civilian oversight of the RCMP. This is clearly not true if you research and review Hansard.

ᐃᓱᒫᓘᑎᒋᒐᒃᑯ, ᐅᖃᖅᑎ, ᑖᓐᓇ ᓄᓴᐅᑎᓕᕆᔨ ᑖᔅᓱᒥᖓ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑎᑖᖁᔨᖅᑰᔭ ᑖᓐᓇ ᓱᓕᙱᒻᒪᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᕕᐅᒃ ᑲᑎᒪᔾᔪᑎᕕᓃᑦ.


I would like the RCMP to be rest assured that the Government of Nunavut values the dedicated and often dangerous work that the members of the RCMP do to protect our citizens and our communities across our great territory.

ᑕᐃᒪ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐅᖃᐅᑎᑦᑎᐊᕈᒪᕙᒃᑲ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᖁᔭᓕᖃᑦᑕᕐᒪᑕ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐊᑦᑕᓇᖅᑐᒦᑦᑐᑎᑦ ᓴᐳᒻᒥᓯᓇᓱᒃᑐᑎᑦ ᓄᓇᖃᖅᑐᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᐃᓗᐊᓂ.


Mr. Speaker, the discussion of civilian oversight and the investigation of serious incidents involving the RCMP and Nunavut is a complicated one which began last spring.

ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᑖᓐᓇ ᐸᓖᓯᐅᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᓇᐅᑦᑎᓱᖅᑎᖃᕐᓂᖅ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᖅ ᐱᒻᒪᕆᐅᔪᓂᒃ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᓕᕆᐊᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ ᐱᔭᕆᑐᔫᒻᒪᑦ.

Indeed, in the shared directional statement I signed with the RCMP which was tabled in the legislature in November of 2016, we made a shared commitment to address this issue, stating that, and I quote, “The GN and RCMP agree that allegations of police misconduct must be taken seriously and acted upon.”

ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᐅᖃᖃᑎᒋᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᑐᓴᖅᑎᑦᑎᖃᑎᒋᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᓅᕕᕝᕙ 2016-ᒥ ᓴᖅᑭᑕᐅᓚᐅᖅᑐᑦ ᒪᓕᒐᓕᐅᕐᕕᒻᒧᑦ ᐅᖃᖅᓯᒪᔪᐃᓐᓇᐅᓚᐅᕋᑦᑕ ᑕᒪᒃᑯᐊ ᐋᖅᑭᒍᑎᔪᒪᓪᓗᒋᑦ “ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᖏᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᓪᓗ ᐊᖏᖃᑎᒌᒃᐳᑦ ᑕᒪᒃᑯᐊ ᐸᓯᔭᐅᓂᖏᑦ ᐸᓖᓯᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᒻᒪᕆᐅᓗᒋᑦ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᔭᐅᒋᐊᑲᐅᑎᒋᖃᑦᑕᓪᓗᑎᒃ.”


Mr. Speaker, I would like to close by stating that I have the utmost respect for the men and women of the RCMP who protect our communities.

Mr. Speaker, in late March of this year I had the honour of joining with Commissioner Nellie Kusugak and a significant number of my constituents on the occasion of the new facility’s opening on March 31.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the women who have been sewing a tapestry in Kugluktuk in recognition of the missing and murdered indigenous women.

They are trying to determine what happened to their loved ones who have disappeared or who have been murdered.

(interpretation ends) Mr. Speaker, in my hometown of Kugluktuk local volunteers, including the former commissioner, Edna Elias, had the idea of making a tapestry. Edna reached out to the community of Kugluktuk with the idea and the response from our community was immediate and strong. Sixteen people joined together to begin the work on a tapestry.

Mr. Speaker, the tapestry honours the women who have been murdered or are missing from Kugluktuk. The people who worked on the tapestry kept the missing and murdered individuals in their minds as they diligently completed the project.

The tapestry was given to the RCMP officer who was posted in Kugluktuk and now is working for the missing and murdered indigenous women inquiry in Ottawa. The tapestry makers believe that the officers will have this as a reminder of the people and their families who are looking for answers as the inquiry begins.

Mr. Speaker, before I make my statement, I feel the same way as my colleagues who have lost a loved one and I send my condolences to the people in Arviat who have lost a loved one. I know that they’re not my relatives, but we do feel for our fellow residents when they lose a loved one, so I send my condolences to the family.

There were fishing derbies in a majority of the communities in Nunavut. There was also a fishing derby in Arviat and they have a committee for a trout and pike fishing derby. I was asked by the committee if I could take part in the prize-giving ceremony and so I did.

During our recent winter sitting I asked the minister to indicate where Chesterfield Inlet stands on her department’s capital priority ranking list for airport terminal building replacements.
