Le Nouveau RĂ©gime: Ăpisode de la Mise en Oeuvre de Nutrition Nord Canada au Nunavik, 2011-2013
Cette Ă©tude examine la crĂ©ation et la mise en Ćuvre du programme Nutrition Nord Canada au Nunavik, entre 2011 et 2013. Ce dernier remplace le programme Aliments-poste, jugĂ© inefficace et trop coĂ»teux par le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral, il Ă©tait destinĂ© Ă soutenir lâapprovisionnement alimentaire des rĂ©gions nordiques isolĂ©es du pays. LâĂ©tude est basĂ©e sur une sĂ©rie de documents et dâentrevues, ainsi quâun suivi des prix Ă la consommation rĂ©alisĂ© pendant cette pĂ©riode. LâĂ©tude montre que le passage dâun programme Ă lâautre Ă©tait essentiellement basĂ© sur lâapplication de la rationalitĂ© marchande Ă lâaction publique, justifiant des rĂ©ductions et restrictions du budget et des bĂ©nĂ©fices, lâimposition des rĂšgles dâadmissibilitĂ© et des procĂ©dures, la surveillance des opĂ©rations et le partage des responsabilitĂ©s entre lâĂtat, les entreprises et les citoyens. Pour bĂ©nĂ©ficier du programme, les entreprises devaient sâengager par contrat Ă rĂ©aliser les opĂ©rations les conduisant Ă toucher les subventions et Ă rĂ©duire les prix. Pour bĂ©nĂ©ficier de la rĂ©duction des prix, les citoyens devaient adapter leurs comportements dâachat aux normes de lâ«âalimentation saineâ», en dĂ©pit de leurs prĂ©fĂ©rences. Ce programme est un exemple de rĂ©gulation biopolitique des conduites, oĂč la citoyennetĂ© «âactiveâ» est la condition dâaccĂšs aux bĂ©nĂ©fices de lâaction publique.AbstractThis study explores the creation and implementation of the Nutrition North Canada program in Nunavik between 2011 and 2013. Nutrition North Canada replaces the Food Mail Program, intended to support the supply of food to the isolated northern regions of the country, and which was deemed ineffective and too costly by the federal government. The study is based on a series of records and interviews, as well as a follow-up of consumer prices during this period. It shows that the transition from one program to another was essentially based on the application of market rationality to public action, justifying reductions and restrictions of the budget and profits, the imposition of the rules of eligibility and procedures, oversight of operations and sharing of responsibilities between the state, businesses and citizens. To benefit from the program, companies had to commit to carry out the operations leading to receiving subsidies and reducing prices. To benefit from the price reduction, citizens had to adapt their purchasing behaviour to the standards of âhealthy eatingâ, despite their preferences. This program is an example of biopolitical regulation of conduct, where âactiveâ citizenship is the condition for access to the benefits of public action.Key words: Nutrition North Canada; Nunavik; neoliberalism; public action; sociolog
