By Jeff Pelletier  Local Journalism Initiative Reporter MP Sylvie Berube’s short first visit to Nunavik has left some residents of the community she flew into and out of Wednesday unsatisfied with what she had to offer. Berube was first elected as the Bloc Quebecois MP for Abitibi_Baie-James_Nunavik_Eeyou in 2019. It’s the third-largest riding in Canada behind Nunavut and Northwest Territories, but until this week she had never been to Nunavik. Berube planned to visit in March 2020, but that fell through when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most traffic into the region. Three years later, and a year after winning a second term in office, she set foot in Nunavik for the first time Wednesday for a short visit to Aupaluk, the smallest of the region’s 14 northern villages.
