Keith Peterson, the MLA for Cambridge Bay and Nunavut’s minister for health and finance, meets Oct. 3 with delegates at the Kitikmeot Inuit Association in Cambridge Bay. His message about Nunavut’s finances: the past four years have been “very challenging” for all governments. But “we are forecasting a surplus in 2012-13,” he said. The Auditor General of Canada is now satisfied that Government of Nunavut accounts are “accurate” and that “we are managing our finances.” About $220 million will be available for infrastructure in 2012-13, he said.
