Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq poses with fellow MPs and colleagues in Ottawa for Seal Day on the Hill Feb. 3, a day to recognize and raise awareness of Canada’s seal industry. “I will continue to defend the seal hunt as it has been at the very heart of the economic well-being of our communities,” Aglukkaq said Feb. 3. “Not only does it provide a livelihood for our families, but the seal hunt enables Inuit to maintain our traditions and way of life.” (PHOTO COURTESY OF MP RYAN LEEF)
