In terms of programs like curriculum vitae writing, and things like that, there are programs that address adult education through the Kativik Schoo

Human Resources committee  There are regional organizations who represent the Inuit leadership. I think you can sit down with them. The governments have to recognize their capacity to manage.... The Kativik Regional Government is our regional government. They must recognize their legitimacy. Those programs

Human Resources committee  Correct.

Human Resources committee  That's where we're moving with health care right now. The Nunavik regional board is the one that decides where to invest in what priorities.

Human Resources committee  I'm not sure what you mean by “innovation”. If it's technology, I—

Human Resources committee  One thing I've observed in the last year is that the major regional organization, our leaders' organization in Nunavik, conducted what we call the Parnasimautik. They went around to each community to hear from the people directly about their preoccupations in all areas of life. W

Human Resources committee  I would refer to the example of our regional organization making recommendations to nutrition north Canada.

Human Resources committee  I do not have the numbers in my head, but I can give you the information. Mr. Chair, we can send you socio-demographic information regarding the Nunavik population. We have what we call an inverted pyramid in Nunavik, because of the high natality rate that we have. I don't th

Human Resources committee  That's a good question. When you asked about housing's capacity to address the mobility issues that elders may have in terms of adaptation, I was going to say that this is an issue, clearly.

Human Resources committee  According to my current observations as a public health physician, the epidemic has not yet peaked. We are currently seeing gradual outbreaks in all of our communities. We are dealing with a generation, those aged 15 to 34, who had very little contact with tuberculosis. They are
