A price tag lists the price of a jug of orange juice at a grocery store in Iqaluit, Nunavut on December 8, 2014. Newly published research has concluded that food insecurity in Nunavut actually grew after the implementation of a federal program to fight hunger in the North. The study, published Tuesday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that the ability of northerners to dependably put food on the table declined significantly during the years the Nutrition North program was being rolled out and has remained at that lower level. That's despite a budget that has increased 65 per cent, from $60 million in 2011 to $99 million in 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick
