QUESTION PERIOD — Ministry of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs
Senate Appointments
November 26, 2024
Hon. Mary Coyle
Thank you. My next question is actually about the appointment of a senator from Nunavut. It has been almost a year since our colleague Senator Dennis Patterson retired. The territory, as you know, is 84.3% Inuit, and it needs appropriate representation. We know there are many qualified candidates. Minister, when will the government appoint a senator from Nunavut?
Hon. Gary Anandasangaree, P.C., M.P., Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations

Thank you, senator. It is one of those matters that are above my pay grade, so I will pass it to the Prime Minister’s Office.
