MLA spotlights GN’s “shame”

Quttituk MLA Levi Barnabas deposited photos of Grise Fiord’s Government of Nunavut office building last week, after he brought up the High Arctic’s need for more infrastructure again in the legislature.

“The government offices in Grise Fiord were once condemned, but today government employees still work out of this building,” says his tabled document with photos.

The photos, Barnabas said, clearly reveal “the shameful condition” of the Grise Fiord government office.

Murmurs of “shame, shame” from sympathetic MLAs followed the tabling of the photos which showed patched walls, hanging pieces of ceiling and other construction faults.
