Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) President Mary Simon launches cross Canada speaking tour at the Canadian Club of Ottawa with a speech entitled "Inuit and the Canadian Arctic: Sovereignty Begins at Home". The tour will go to all Canadian provinces and territories, and is sponsored by Inuit-owned airline First Air.
Mary Simon argues that asserting Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic is best done with the people who live there, and the people who live in the Arctic, in the vast majority, are Inuit. By ensuring Inuit and the communities Inuit live in are healthy, this is part and parcel of asserting Canadian sovereignty along with the military and legal measures, which Inuit are also participating in by virtue of being in the Canadian Rangers, and having signed comprehensive land claim agreements, which are constitutionally protected documents in Canada.
