Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Kevin McCormick, representative, Inuik Fisheries, and a resident of Pangnirtung. He feels that the Canadian government should be dealing with important economic and social issues in the Baffin region and that negotiations relating to the formation of Nunavut should not take precedent over these issues. He calls for the Canadian government to subsidize airfares and hotel costs in the Eastern Arctic to create growth in the tourist industry. He also addresses the fishing industry and wants the government to ensure that Arctic fishing grounds will not be decimated like the Eastern fishing grounds. Following the presentation is a discussion with the Commissioners. | |
