[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
I had recommendations that were directed to government earlier, but we also have to understand and recognize that national legislation in Canada.... It has to be known in Canada that Nunavut has a language act that protects Inuktitut, and a protection act. People need to know that in Canada.
We have many struggles. It's not just the act itself. Our language has been undermined for many years.
I will let her respond.
