On a motion made by Sarah Beaulne, the agenda was modified and adopted as attached to the minutes as Annex I. 5 INVESTIGATION REQUESTED Louise presented the internal investigation that she did. The outcome of this investigation is that there has not been anything illegal in the transactions examined. Annie said that Chanh does his job and that it is not necessary to have an audit committee to oversee his decisions. Discussion continued in the afternoon. 6 ITK – NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON INUIT EDUCATION Louise informed the meeting that we are still waiting for MELS for an authorization. The government shuffled employees and they needed clarification. MELS will attend the September meeting in Ottawa with ITK. Someone from KSB will be appointed to this committee once the government approves the signature of the agreement by K.S.B. Alacie wants to know if we have responded to Pita Aatami’s letter asking for an estimate. Louise will compile the information and prepare a draft response to Makivik. 7 INVITATION TO 2ND DISCUSSION FORUM ON INUIT TRADITIONAL ADOPTION Annie informed the meeting that an invitation was sent by Makivik to attend the discussion forum on Inuit Traditional Adoption. All the executives will attend this meeting. A presentation before this meeting will be made in Kuujjuaq during the Executive September meeting. 8 INVITATION TO TAKE PART IN THE INUIT STUDIES CONFERENCE Mary informed the meeting that an invitation was sent and explained what is it about. Alacie Nalukturuk, Qiallak Qumaaluk and Harriet Keleutak will attend this conference. 9 REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP COMMITTEE Annie said that they have not been able to meet yet and are waiting for answers from the other organizations. Montreal, Qc. 7 XC735–2010/2011 – August 31 and September 1st, 2010 MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE KATIVIK SCHOOL BOARD The administration of this committee was transferred to Makivik Corporation. 10 STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “NEXT GENERATION MINING PROJECT” Annie informed the meeting that there is an invitation to join the steering committee. Annie will check with KRG and Judith Côté might be the representative of KSB. 11 PLAN NORD AND MARY AITCHISON Annie informed the meeting that Mary is retiring on October 1, 2010 and she would like her to continue the work because the work is almost coming to an end. They will have to submit their report on October 22, 2010. With the approval of the Executive, Mary will continue to work on Plan Nord. Annie also said they have met with the other Inuit parties and Makivik is going to be presenting a position paper on September 24, 2010. 12 TEACHING SURVIVAL SKILLS (CANOES) Qiallak informed the meeting that for survival skills course, they have purchased six canoes. However, the schools close when it is time to use these canoes. There has to be a way for students to be taught how to survive on the sea. There is also the fact that they have to be stored in winter. Sarah Airo said that we will have to find a way to use these canoes. We might have to stop buying canoes until we find another way. Mary Aitchison said that there is a way to solve this problem. Alacie would like to see a proposal to use these canoes and that perhaps they could be used for summer camps. Adamie said that canoes would sit there since summer camps are operated by the community at a nominal fee or let the Education Committee decide. Mary said that maybe we should use them for summer camps or we could look at the student schedules to add that activity. Alacie said that maybe these canoes could be used by guides who do not own one. Sarah Beaulne said that maybe it could be part of the heritage program of KRG. 13 SCIENCE RESEARCH FROM QUAQTAQ AND KUUJJUAQ Montreal, Qc.
