Human Resources committee Absolutely. There is a lack of physical infrastructure, a lack of physical places to house a child care centre. There is a need for capacity building around child care workers. Infrastructure, I think, is one of the biggest challenges. When you consider that in relation to housi

Human Resources committee The technicalities of housing delivery are beyond the scope or mandate of our organization. I know the four regional land claims organizations are actively trying to engage in discussions with the federal government. There just needs to be more. There are challenges across the

Human Resources committee There's a great deal more that needs to be done that can be done immediately. From our perspective, we're not having the success we had expected in working with the federal government at this point after the election. I understand from some senior public servants that the departm

Status of Women committee I'll give you an example from Nunavik. They have the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services, which is mandated by the land claim. They have quite a complicated working arrangement with the Province of Quebec and the land claim, and I think the federal government. So

Status of Women committee By all means. We can certainly follow up. I know it is readily available. There are community profiles that also look at Inuit average incomes. The general population average income can be skewed by high-income transient workers. In Iqaluit, the economy is largely driven by gov
