Chief Medical Officer and Director General, Office of Population and Public Health, Department of Indigenous Services

Thank you for your question.

I'll start by talking about our department's program, and then I'll hand over to Ms. Gideon so she can provide more details.

There are no public health physicians from our department in Nunavut. To support Nunavut, we're working with the Public Health Agency of Canada, the communities and the Nunavut Department of Health.

As for Nunavik, we're collaborating with the Nunavik Commission, the communities and the Quebec government. Most of the time, the services have already been transferred.

Maybe Ms. Gideon can give you more details.
