Federal government says it’s working on a long-term approach to support Inuit children
Multiple times per day, Nunavut Member of Parliament Lori Idlout hears another story of a family going hungry in one of Nunavut’s small communities, she told Nunavut News.
Rising hunger coincides with the federal government putting an end to hamlet food vouchers, according to Idlout.
Nunavut’s only representative in the House of Commons said she believes Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is more concerned with resource development than ensuring her constituents can afford groceries.
