Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you for the question. I will say that it really is not a simple question to answer. However, in thinking about the situation and doing research within this time, my main goal to help really would be just for Inuit students and Inuktitut-speaking students to have that moral support from their teachers and to have that cultural connection.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. [Witness spoke in Inuktitut and provided the following translation:] Good afternoon. My name is Ella Estey. I am from Iqaluit, Nunavut, and I thank the committee for inviting me. [English] I would also like to thank the Inuksuk High School social studies teacher Patrick McDermott for his direction with my project.
