Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and colleagues. Mr. Speaker, as I continue, the current methods used to uphold the duty to consult are different than Inuit interpretation, and this hampers reconciliation and a renewed Crown to Inuit relationship. Real partnership and leadership means that Inuit are a part of the actual decisions being made. It means that our input is valued directly at the decision-making table rather than only through consultation beforehand. This will enhance the quality and outcomes of decisions being made that directly affect the lives and wellbeing of Inuit and Indigenous people across Canada, Mr. Speaker.
A positive example of this would be to build on the structure of the Arctic Council where Inuit are engaged as permanent participants and are at the same table as member states. This would, however, benefit from enhanced core funding directly from the federal government to Indigenous organizations. Mr. Speaker, I'll have questions for the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations. Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker.
