Public meetings wrap up
More than 145 Nunavummiut
attended public meetings in Arctic Bay, Taloyoak, Chesterfield Inlet, Baker
Lake and Kugluktuk held by the legislative assemblys special committee
to review the Official Languages Act.
The act was inherited from
the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999.
Because of weather, the
committee was unable to travel to Sanikiluaq and Qikiqtarjuaq, although those
meetings will be rescheduled.
The committee must present
its final report to the legislative assembly in 2003. Copies of the first interim
report are available from the legislative assembly, or online at www.assembly.nu.ca.
