Just two weeks after the Nunavut Official Languages Act comes into force, Nunavut Languages Commissioner Sandra Inutiq, centre, describes her office’s plans and priorities to members of the Legislative Assembly on April 16. Nunavut’s Standing Committee on Oversight of Government Operations and Public Accounts, chaired by MLA Ron Elliott, left, questioned the commissioner on her office’s plans to implement the languages act, which puts the Inuit language Inuktut on equal footing with English and French.
