Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition from the Inuit community of Kuujjuaq in Nunavik.
According to the petitioners, there are 16 to 20 people living in three bedroom dwellings in the winter. The Inuit find the housing conditions in Nunavik extremely distressing. They consider the situation totally intolerable. It contributes to the high incidence of the tuberculosis, infectious deseases and social problems.
The federal government must assume its obligations on housing under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.
