OTTAWA — Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami president Natan Obed compares working with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to being a contestant on the TV show “Dragons’ Den.”
Under Justin Trudeau’s government, he said, Inuit communities could come to Ottawa with policy proposals and expect engagement and a decision.
Under Carney, he said, they’re expected to do their own analysis in advance and make a pitch for federal investment based on the likelihood of economic benefits.
