The Government of Canada will reportedly be providing $50M to build Inuit Nunangat University, matching the contribution from the national Inuit organization Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami. “While they didn’t include it in the budget, I did have a call with the Prime Minister’s Office, where they clarified that even though there’s no number attached to it, they did tell us that the fund will be $50 million,” said MP Lori Idlout. Idlout shared that she was told that the new university would have a main campus and four satellite campuses. Nunavut News reports that the Prime Minister’s Office said that it was looking into the matter before it would confirm or deny.
