Human Resources committee  We know that one key is education. We know that the capacity to acquire the skills and competencies of the jobs already in the north.... There are a lot of jobs in the north; we cannot say there are no jobs. But we have to support the capacity and the factors favouring people get

Human Resources committee  There are programs, and there is a project regarding that. In fact, I think the intent is to ask the federal government for a detox centre project in Kuujjuaq.

Human Resources committee  Yes, it's important for the communities.

Human Resources committee  I would like to add something. First, we have to eliminate the famous backlog, and come to an agreement with Quebec, that is, governments have to agree; but there must also be agreement with current Inuit leaders so that they take their place and become eventual leaders in this a

Human Resources committee  We don't talk about that sort of situation very much. We know it exists and we acknowledge it, but as for any case of abuse, very often the first step is to recognize that it is happening. We live in a society that recognizes that we have problems and that we need to deal with th

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.

Currently, Kativik Regional Government is developing the kinds of projec

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. Our communities right now are small, but they're expanding, and they're expanding wit

Human Resources committee  I agree. In terms of impact from a health perspective, I cannot claim things, but one of the concerns we have, for example, is with rabies. There are animals that carry rabies in the south; with climate change, we see animals now moving more north. We are concerned about further

Human Resources committee  Are you asking should the proceeds of carbon taxation be used to reduce...?

Human Resources committee  I'm not an expert who could say what is the best way of using a carbon reduction tax. Clearly, if it's about programs to increase the social safety net of our citizens, the source of the funds is an issue for government policy to decide. However, I think we need to increase the c
