Mr. Speaker, I table a petition from the Inuit community of Tasiujaq, in Nunavik.
The petitioners say that in winter from 16 to 20 people may share the same three-bedroom house. They find the housing conditions in Nunavik extremely troubling. The situation is considered intolerable; it contributes to the high incidence of tuberculosis, infectious diseases and social problems.
The federal government must meet its obligations under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement on housing in Nunavik.
