Some Iqaluit residents gather March 4 at the Astro Theatre to hear Olivier De Schutter, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, speaks over a webcast link, part of a nation-wide event organized by Food Secure Canada. De Schutter, who on March 4 released a report on food rights issues in Canada at a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, said monitoring of the federal government’s Nutrition North Canada program “seems to be inefficient.” (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
