This is probably pouring a 50-gallon drum of gas on an unattended campfire, but...
Canada has TWO official languages - English and French. As you progress higher up through all branches of government, you're expected to ultimately be/become bilingual.
No offense meant, but noone conducts business in Toronto in Inuktitut save for anyone directly dealing with parties in Nunavut and area.
Hell, even those disobedient Aboriginals in Caledonia are speaking to the police, lawyers, government and townspeople in English. So, what makes Nunavut any different?
If they really want to open the floodgates... lobby to have Aboriginal languages added in as "authentic" Canadian languages. However, given the significant number of dialects that Aboriginals speak in Canada (last I checked, anyways)... that's a lot of paperwork. Good luck with that.
Perhaps if they paid proper taxes in Nunavut for the wages they earned, they could fund something like this to show the rest of Canada that they're capable of contributing to the country's culture and tapestry of people, too.
