[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank you for involving me in dealing with very important issues, and I'm very happy that I am involved.
We have good interpreters, and you have given me opportunities to sit on other meetings, which has been wonderful for me. We need to talk about our culture and our way of doing things. Thank you.
I have a question. We all know that elections are a human right in Canada. There is a Constitution, and indigenous languages are entrenched well there.
We have a lot of things to do in Canada. We need to deal with indigenous languages and deal with them importantly and properly, and we want to continue to use our languages and strengthen them. The Government of Canada needs to help us to strengthen the bodies of Inuit organizations to entrench and enrich languages.
Are you open to dealing with the rights of indigenous people? I'd like to understand what you think.
