Good afternoon, Mr. Paton. I represent the region of Nunavik, which differs slightly from Nunavut, in terms of the agreements signed with the province of Quebec.
On May 25, I was in Salluit and noticed that education there is different from that of allochthons. In fact, students who live in cities are able to get a good night's sleep, which is not the case in Salluit, Nunavik. When I was in Salluit on May 25, some 7 to 10-year-old children were still out in the streets at 4 o'clock in the morning because their parents were fighting at home, in housing units that are too small. I am sure that the lack of housing has a huge negative impact on students' ability to concentrate. I believe that Nunavut has the same problem.
As regards consultations, and since this committee is undertaking a study on education, do you have any recommendations on specific areas of research that this committee can look into? Are there any specific topics that have not been sufficiently researched, or on which we have neglected to get your vision? I would like to know your opinion on this subject.
