  • Re: Bill C-21 
Uqaqtittiji, during the 2019 election, the member's party promised to make sure that the CBSA had the resources it needed to detect and stop the flow of weapons at our borders. Why has the Liberal government not restored the more than 1,000 positions cut by previous Conservative governments, which are required to stop the flow of weapons at the Canada-U.S. border?

[Member spoke in Inuktitut and provided the following text:] ᐅᖅᑲᖅᑎᑦᑎᔨ, ᓯᕗᓪᓕᕐᒥ ᑳᓇᑕᓕᒫᕐᒥᒃ ᓄᓇᖃᖅᑳᖅᓯᒪᔪᓄᑦ ᐅᓪᓗᕆᔭᐅᑎᓪᓗᒍ, ᐅᓪᓗᖃᑦᑎᐊᖁᕙᓯ. [Member provided the following translation:] First of all, I wish you all a wonderful Indigenous People's Day. [English] I am honoured to speak on National Indigenous Peoples Day. There are many stories that I could share. Inuit, first nations and Métis in Canada have made historic achievements. Among these achievements are the creation, education and graduation of the joint degree program in Canadian common law and indigenous legal orders at the University of Victoria. I thank the indigenous elders and former students of the residential schools. By their sacrifice, we are regaining our strengths as indigenous peoples. It is by their determination that we are able to celebrate our heritages, languages and hope for future generations. I am so thankful to them.

Uqaqtittiji, yesterday the government announced billions for Arctic defence. Arctic sovereignty is always colonial and patriarchal. The High Arctic relocatees who live in Grise Fiord and Resolute can attest to being sent there without the resources they needed to survive and thrive. Investments in the north need to help northerners access safe housing, clean drinking water and fresh food. Current investments are not working. How will Nunavummiut benefit from the billions being invested in Arctic defence?
