All the communities in the Baffin Region understand the purpose of this clause. Generally, they agree with it. The objection is that, for example, in Pangnirtung, the committee already had a by-law to deal with their problem employees if they had any. To have this kind of policy without any proper consultation taking place prior to implementing this policy is where the objection lies, not with the policy itself. There was a lack of consultation in the way in which the process was carried out.
Social Services' mandate is to look after social needs, and the Pangnirtung committee members have very high self-esteem. But, I do not think it is the mandate of Social Services to knock off self-esteem on the members on the alcohol committees. Would the Minister get back to these two communities and get the proper recourse on a consultation basis, so that misunderstanding will discontinue?
