[Member spoke in Inuktitut, interpreted as follows:]
Under section 35, it appears that indigenous people do not have a lot of rights. We have rights in Nunavut under the Inuit Language Protection Act. We have official languages that include Inuktitut, but not enough people who work for Service Canada or for CanNor speak Inuktitut. Many Inuit, 85% of Inuit in Nunavut, speak Inuktitut only and expect to be served in their language, but federal government employees do not speak Inuktitut when providing the services. Even under that section, it doesn't seem to be making any difference at all to have that right.
Our rights are not being adhered to. With section 35, if you are going to implement it.... How can we change that so that Inuit can be equally served in their indigenous language by your federal employees?
