Lori Idlout at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

[Member spoke in Inuktitut, interpreted as follows:]

I'm sorry. Are we testing?

Okay.

First of all, I want to thank every one of you. What I'm hearing is very good.

I am speaking to you now from my home community of Iqaluit. I am glad to hear what you're speaking about. We are speaking to our rights as peoples—as Métis, Cree and Inuit. Right now, the focus is on Métis rights, as a nation.

If Bill C-53 is not passed, how would it affect your nation, yourselves, your children and your grandchildren?

If you all want to respond to this question.... I leave it to you to respond.

Thank you.
