Thank you.
I have many questions, but I will have to stick to one question. In Nunavut, the schools and the people have the hardest time with resources. Many people are truants and not attending, because they live in overcrowded housing. They live in very old, decrepit, and mould-infested homes. Even if they wanted to go to school, there are things that prevent them from going to school regularly.
Once they get to school, the schools are also very old institutions and need repairs. Resources prevent us from attending. Infrastructure needs repairs. Residential school survivors have a lot of pain. There's a lot of intergenerational trauma that's been passed on from residential schools. I believe it is very important that we keep that in mind and concentrate on the trauma from residential schools and intergenerational trauma.
I will ask you about the learning institutions. In Nunavut, our institutions are overcrowded, with very old buildings. We know that the Nunavut government should be managing and operating those, but if it's not going to get enough money through bilateral agreements from the federal government, those issues will never be addressed. It is critically important that we increase government funding to the territorial government institutions. Bilateral funding to territorial governments has to be increased drastically. People who graduate will increase in number once the infrastructure is okay.
I have many questions about schools in Nunavut, but I have to limit it to this one.
