[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
I cannot give a specific number, but I can say there are a lot.
Now, one example I want to bring up is that for federal government agencies, although we do get funding, there's no additional funding. If someone, say, is bilingual in French and Inuktitut, yes, they get additional funding, but they go through the same struggles to keep their language alive.
We have to ask. The French people get additional funding to keep their language alive. As Inuit, how come we don't get the same equal treatment? We are not treated equally.
Many things are getting more expensive today. Inflation is rising.
