For Immediate Release: (October 23, 2019) President Aluki Kotierk, on behalf of Nunavut Inuit, congratulates Mumilaaq Qaqqaq on her election as Member of Parliament for Nunavut and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party on their election to another term. To MP-elect Qaqqaq, President Kotierk commented, “As you embark on your new role, we are committed to working with you to achieve the full implementation of the Nunavut Agreement. It was young Inuit, a generation ago, whom led the charge to negotiate and settle the Nunavut Agreement. We have much more work to fully realize the Nunavut dream. I am confident that your understanding of the issues and concerns important to Inuit, and our willingness and ability to work together will serve us all well.” On the re-election of the Liberal party Kotierk added, “Inuit have made progress through the Inuit-Crown Partnership Committee (ICPC) which was exceptionally successful and delivered on its objective to close the unacceptable social and economic inequities faced by Inuit. I want to congratulate Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party in their re-election to another term as government. We are eager to continue to work in partnership to respect and advance Inuit rights and interests”. Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated’s (NTI) Niriuttaarijat strategic priorities (2018-2021) are Inuit employment, a Nunavut education system reflective of Inuit culture, Inuktut as the primary working language of the territory, closing the infrastructure gap and full implementation of Article 32 of the Nunavut Agreement. NTI coordinates and manages Inuit responsibilities set out in the Nunavut Agreement and ensures that the federal and territorial governments fulfill their obligations. “I thank the other three candidates for the Nunavut riding, Leona Aglukkaq, Megan Pizzo-Lyall and Roy Douglas for their commitment to Nunavut Inuit and the democratic process,” said Kotierk.

Once again, I have the honour of presenting Pauktuutit’s Annual Report for 2019-2020. The past year was an exceptional one on many fronts and that says a lot for an organization in its 36th year. This has been one of my busiest years as President, but my message will only address a selection of issues we have worked on during that past year. The topics I have selected to highlight reflect the breadth of the issues we have worked on, rather than any effort to prioritize one issue over another. The report that follows provides a much more detailed look at the busy year we have just completed. Since its inception, Pauktuutit has frequently faced a lack of adequate and predicable funding. Depending on the government of the day and its priorities, Pauktuutit has often struggled to access sufficient funding to enable it to adequately address the many challenges facing Inuit women.

Canadian Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) 20 Toronto Street Suite 300 Toronto, ON M5C 2B8 Website: cabl.ca Twitter: @CABLNational June 25, 2020 Open Letter and Delivered by E-mail The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 The Honourable David Lametti, P.C., Q.C., M.P. Minister of Justice House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Lametti: Re: Federal Government Strategies to Address Anti-Black Racism Further to my discussion with Minister Lametti, the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers’ (CABL) is keen to collaborate with your Government by offering its insight and expertise on critical issues affecting the Black community. On behalf of CABL, I include a list of strategic priorities we wish you to consider. But first, we want to commend the Minister of Justice for showing a willingness to act. The existence of systemic anti-Black racism in Canadian society, including our legal system, cannot be seriously disputed. Reports from the courts, academia and the media highlight the often- negative experience many Black Canadians experience within the criminal justice system. Black Canadians are stopped, carded and searched by police at disproportionate rates. Similarly, Black Canadians are disproportionately incarcerated. Stated differently, there are too many Black Canadians detained, too many Black Canadians charged and too many Black Canadians in jail. They also make up a disproportionate percentage of the victims of police violence. On the other hand, there is a distinct dearth of diversity among stakeholders of the criminal justice system.

Although restrictions on intercommunity travel within Nunavut have been relaxed, Sanikiluaq's unique geography has resulted in its being the only community in Nunavut whose residents continue to lack accessible means of travel. · This was reflected in the Premier's recent letter of July 21, 2020, to the Regular 11 Members' Caucus, in which he indicated that ••• due to flight paths to and from Sanikiluaq, unless a direct charter, travellers must leave the territory and connect in a southern province" in order to travel to other Nunavut communities. He also confirmed 11 that ••• if residents of Sanikiluaq want to travel within the territory, they can travel via charter or they will be required to complete a 14-day isolation period." As you will recall, the Government of Canada recently announced " ... new m~asures to 11 support essential air access to remote communities." These measures included ••• establishing a $75.0 million funding program for the federal contribution for the first six months and maintaining these essential services through an investment of up to $174.0 11 million over 18 months."
