Symons Lecture in PEI

On Tuesday November 3rd Mary Simon delivered the Symons Lecture on the State of Canadian Confederation in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

The lecture discussed the need for Canada to demonstrate international leadership in working with the global community to develop real solutions to combatting rapidly accelerating climate change at COP15, and the necessity of approaching policy making for Inuit Nunangat around the principle that Inuit must be fundamental partners in developing those policies. The core message delivered is that there exist many gaps in education, health, social, economic, and housing standards, between Inuit and southern Canadians, and that those gaps must be closed before Inuit can be full partners in Confederation.
