Ahead of PM’s visit, Nunavut MLAs discuss TB treatment trauma

Ahead of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to Iqaluit today to apologize for the suffering Inuit experienced during past treatments of tuberculosis, Nunavut’s MLAs addressed the subject in the territory’s legislature. From the 1940s to the 1960s, many Inuit were removed from their homes and taken to southern sanatoriums. Some never returned. “I struggle with this issue. We expect those who leave to come back,” said Aggu MLA Paul Quassa, seen here. (Photo by Courtney Edgar)
