Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition signed by residents of Akulivik, a municipality of Nunavik, which is addressed to the federal government and concerns one of its departments, which ordered the killing of Inuit sled dogs from 1950 to 1969.
The federal government adopted a policy in support of these killings, and did not hold public consultations with the Inuit communities of New Quebec. Consequently, we are asking for a public inquiry into the federal dog killing policy that was implemented in Nunavik.
