[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Before I begin asking my first questions, I want to first say thank you for providing an interpreter for me so that I'm able to speak in my language.
I want you to envision—every one of you—all the voters. If you were able to read and write in syllabics, in Inuktitut languages, you would understand what I'm saying. I am really thankful that I'm able to speak in my own language.
The first question I want to ask is of Jean-François Daoust. In your research, have you conducted studies on the impact of colonialism on indigenous engagement and politics?
