Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) is pleased at the release of the new co-developed federal government procurement Directive relating to contracting activity in the Nunavut Settlement Area. Throughout the negotiations, NTI has consistently interpreted and defined the policy objectives under Article 24 as falling under three separate and independent pillars:

• the right of Inuit to own and operate companies
• the right of Inuit to work and be employed through government contracting, and;
• the right of Inuit to undertake skills training and development, for the appropriate contracts
