    Banning the "limited use" category by default in the "General Security Profile" is interesting given it overrepresents indigenous scripts.

    For example, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics is the writing system of Inuktitut, the primary language of the Canadian territory of Nunavut spoken by 63.1% of the population. It seems like they're being disenfranchised by this proposal.
