KUUJJUAQ - A meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Inuit leaders Tuesday wrapped with a commitment for a new program to replace the Inuit Child First Initiative, and for Ottawa to use its channels to get a proposed Inuit Nunangat University accredited.

Carney was in Kuujjuaq, Que., with six of his cabinet ministers for a meeting with Inuit leaders. He co-chaired the Inuit-to-Crown partnership committee meeting with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami President Natan Obed.
