Prime Minister Mark Carney: “I’m honoured to welcome Nunavut Member of Parliament, Lori Idlout, to the team as the newest member of our Liberal caucus.

“Working in partnership to build a strong North and strong Nunavut is essential to building a more secure, prosperous, and resilient Canada, with lasting economic opportunity for people all across the North.

“Lori has devoted her life to fighting for Nunavut’s potential and the immediate needs of its people, becoming known in many ways as the ultimate community MP even as she represents a constituency the size of Mexico.

“At this important moment in our history, Canadians are coming together to build a strong future. Lori’s voice and leadership will make an invaluable contribution to this work as part of Canada’s new government.”
