BREAKING: The government of Nunavut's application to strike NTI's lawsuit over right to Inuktitut education thrown out, has been dismissed. The lawsuit may proceed. Background here: cbc.ca/news/canada/no… And here: cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Key passage from Justice Bychok's decision: "In my view, the Supreme Court of Canada has left the door open, arguably, for [NTI] to assert that the provision of Inuit language education from K-12 is an analogous ground protected against discrimination by Charter section 15 (1)."

More: "Clearly, it is arguable that the 2019 Amendments [to Nunavut's Education Act] may impose a burden upon, or deny benefits to, Inuit. They do so on two levels. "First, the Amendments may contribute to Inuit youth losing their language and their connection to Inuit culture.

(continued) "Just as importantly, the effect of the 2019 Amendments may be to perpetuate the undeniable historical disadvantages experienced by Inuit from colonialism" - Justice Paul Bychok.
