The Nunavik Enrolment Office has among other duties to verse the lists provided by each community into the Nunavik Inuit Beneficiaries Register. Pursuant to the coming into force of the CA. 18, being on May 1st 2006, the rules of the Inuit Eligibility Regime were modified completely. The communities have now the responsibility to update their own community beneficiaries list via the work of their Community Enrolment Committee composed in Puvirnituq of one Elder and of the Directors of the local Landholding Corporation. The Puvirnituq Community Enrolment Committee applies its discretion in implementing the criteria listed at the C.A. 18, in order to take a decision on the application presented by an individual, or his/her legal representative for minors, under the guidance of the following principles: Nunavik Inuit are best able to define who is an Inuk and who is therefore entitled to be enrolled under the JBNQA, and; Nunavik Inuit are to be recognized according to their own understanding of themselves, of their culture and traditions; and; The determination and decision process of who is an Inuk for the purposes of the JBNQA is to be just and equitable. 1.2 Creation of the Puvirnituq Enrolment Committee Section 3A.6.1 of the JBNQA establishes an Enrolment Committee in all Inuit communities, as defined in section 3A.2: Kangiqsualujjuaq, Kuujjuaq, Tasiujaq, Aupaluk, Kangirsuk, Quaqtaq, Kangiqsujuaq, Salluit, Ivujivik, Akulivik, Puvirnituq, Inukjuak, Umiujaq, Kuujjuaraapik, Chisasibi and Killiniq. There are consequently sixteen (16) Community Enrolment Committees, inclusive of the committee for the community of Puvirnituq. PUVIRNITUQ ENROLMENT COMMITTEE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES (JANUARY 4, 2011) Page 3 1.3 Functions of the Puvirnituq Enrolment Committee The functions of the Puvirnituq Enrolment Committees are to: a) decide whether a person applying for enrolment as a beneficiary under the Agreement meets each of the eligibility requirements listed at the agreement and is associated with Puvirnituq. Hence, a person will be entitled to be enrolled as a beneficiary under the Agreement if she or he meets the enrolment criteria as follows: i) is alive, ii) is a Canadian citizen, iii) is an Inuk, as determined in accordance with Inuit customs and traditions, iv) identifies himself or herself as an Inuk, and v) is associated with the community of Puvirnituq through family, residential, historical, cultural or social connections with the community of Puvirnituq. b) decide, upon its own motion, whether the name of a beneficiary affiliated with Puvirnituq should be removed from the Inuit beneficiaries register, as a consequence of that person is no longer alive or is no longer a Canadian citizen; c) decide, upon its own motion or upon the request of a beneficiary, whether a person affiliated with Puvirnituq by virtue on marriage under the old regime still meet the eligibility requirements of the agreement; d) decide, upon the request of a beneficiary affiliated to another Inuit community, whether the beneficiary may become affiliated to the community of Puvirnituq; e) decide, upon its own motion, whether a beneficiary affiliated with Puvirnituq has established his or her residence outside the Territory during ten (10) or more continuous years for purposes other than those relating to education, health, employment with an organization dedicated to Inuit welfare; f) decide, upon the request of a beneficiary affiliated to Puvirnituq, whether the beneficiary has re- established his or her residence in the Territory; g) notify the Enrolment Office of its decisions without delay. 1.4 Functions of the Puvirnituq Enrolment Secretary Unless the Northern Village of Puvirnituq decides to assume such human and financial responsibility, the Registrar of the Nunavik Enrolment Office shall act as the “Enrolment Secretary” to the Puvirnituq Enrolment Committee. The Puvirnituq Enrolment Secretary shall be responsible to take the minutes of the meetings of the Committee, and to complete and transmit the various Application Forms and Decisions to the Applicants and to the Nunavik Enrolment Office.
