Mr. Speaker, I think the letter may have already been sent, but certainly if it has not, it will be this week.

Question O70-12(2): Fishing In The Cumberland Sound Area
Item 5: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Renewable Resources. You probably know about the request for fishing licences in the Cumberland Sound. I do not know the exact zone numbers, but the Makivik Corporation and Qikiqtaaluk Corporation jointly are planning to use the bottom-scraping method. Something is
apparently quite environmentally dangerous. But I have not yet received anything, and being from the Eastern Arctic, being community-based, I have not received any information from the Minister's office as to what the federal department's intentions are in that respect. We have not received anything on how we might participate in the hearing or any other forum. Will the Minister be supplying us, from the federal government, information as to how we will be able to participate in that decision-making?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources -- our department is part of the Atlantic Council of Fisheries.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The eastern people are going to be fishing in the near future. Are we going to be involved in the hearings regarding this fishery? While they are requesting the licences in the Eastern Arctic, are we going to be involved in this process? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Previously I mentioned that we were involved in a meeting on the fisheries in the Eastern Arctic, in Cumberland Sound and some other areas which I am not certain of. During the meeting I emphasized that I would like to meet with the Minister Hon. John Crosbie regarding the concerns of the people of the Eastern Arctic. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, there is a great concern. There was a report yesterday about the problem in the Newfoundland cod fisheries and, here we go again, we are planning to do exactly the same thing in the Arctic. In Pangnirtung the fishing is very small and the individual groups are depending on the fish in that very ocean. Cumberland Sound is not very large, and if we are going to have the same practice which they have in the Atlantic Ocean, for the cod fisheries off Newfoundland, would the Minister have a long-term, futuristic attitude toward the issuing of the licences? We are hoping that there will be other considerations made and that he will participate fully in that, other than waiting for the federal government to decide unilaterally.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The multi-year licensing is in the process -- that is what the Minister responsible for Fisheries is trying to do. If we are not part of the process now, we are going to have to wait another five years to be part of the process. That is what we are trying to do right now, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Question O71-12(2): GNWT Endorsement Of "nwt Way" As Health Care Model
Item 5: Oral Questions

My question is to the Minister of Health. There has been a great deal of concern expressed in this House over the last two weeks with respect to the NWT health care. I am told, in my discussions with people, that the department officials are, in fact, taking steps to develop an implementation strategy with respect to this policy. Will the Minister confirm today that the GNWT has endorsed the "NWT Way" as a model for health care?
