Nunavik needs its own seat in Quebec’s National Assembly, according to the heads of Makivik Corp. and the Kativik Regional Government.

Nunavimmiut number close to 10,000, only a tiny slice of the 221,893 voters contained in the same electoral boundary, known as the Ungava Division.

Pita Aatami, president of Makivik Corp, said residents of Nunavik have little in common with other Ungava voters and aren’t “totally represented” by their member of the National Assembly.

The Inuit of Nunavik have demanded a seat of their own in the national assembly for many years, according to Maggie Emudluk, chair of the KRG.

“In 1972, several Inuit from Nunavik made a 2,500-kilometre trip, by snowmobile, from Ivujivik to Quebec to suggest Premier Bourassa an electoral division be created for Nunavik. More than 30 years later, we want more than ever to have our own representative at the National Assembly,” she said in a press release.

Both say that if the Magdalen Islands deserves its own electoral division because they’re unique, so does Nunavik.
