Qujannamiik, Uqaqtittiji.
I would like to show my support for having some sort of orientation session. I like the idea of having it during our two-hour normal meeting so that it could be recorded and we could go back to it if we needed to.
I would also like to suggest that in that training or orientation session, we make sure that part of the content differentiates between the realities that were experienced by first nations, Métis and Inuit, because we all have very different experiences, although a lot of the treatment may have been the same. I think we've come to realize that we have important unique differences between our cultures. I think it would be great to make sure that the subcommittee does a few things, including identifying facilitators who are experts in first nations, Métis or Inuit areas as well as making sure that we discuss good questions as Marilène just suggested. We do have really good questions that I think the subcommittee could really help hash out in preparation for our first session in January.
When I want to ask a question later on a different topic, will I just need to raise my hand? As an Inuk, a bilingual Inuk, and an Inuk with constituents who still speak only Inuktitut, I think it would be amazing if I could have interpretation services in Inuktitut, as have been provided in the House of Commons, when I'm able to speak. I would like to ask if this would be a possibility in this committee as well.
Qujannamiik for allowing me to speak.
