Ms. Paula Isaak (Associate Deputy Minister, Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Minister.

As you just pointed out, to be eligible for the program, communities have to be isolated. We do review the list of isolated communities from time to time, and since 2011, the number of eligible communities has increased to 122. If we receive an application from a committee, we can check whether it should receive nutrition north Canada subsidies. The program is subject to ongoing review.
