Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions today are for the Nunavut Planning Commission.

Paul, Sharon, and Adrian, this bill establishes the Inuit as a signatory to the land use plans. From your perspective, can you explain to the committee the significance of this? Including the Inuit is really not a specific requirement of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement; can you tell us why this is an important part of the bill?

See context to find out what was said next.
