Ms. Mary Oates (Senior Advisor, Inuit Relations Secretariat, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Yes. One of the purposes of the secretariat is to inform the department and Canada regarding the needs and interests of Inuit. I have met with the office of the federal interlocutor. I have met with, not Mr. Budgell, but other elements of his team to talk about K to 12 and post-secondary education. We continue to work on the same committees and issues.

As with government it's always slow going, but we're making progress.
