Let me assure the Member that as long as I'm the Minister of Economic Development, the ownership of the eastern Arctic fisheries will not be on the EDA subcommittee. Let's get this record straight. First of all, there are two ownerships that Mr. Patterson is talking about. One is Mr. McCormick who lives in Pangnirtung who has not insulted the Department of Economic Development and the superintendent, but has actually threatened them.
Secondly, the other partner is Mr. Mahoney from Air Baffin, whose primary source of income is in the charter business. I'm talking about the livelihood here of 121 Inuit families in Pangnirtung. That's where I'm placing the emphasis at this time. Mr. Mahoney and Mr. McCormick can apply for any other grants, any other lending, like anybody else in the Northwest Territories. As far as I'm concerned, the majority of people who are active in the fishery have a greater interest than the minority. Mr. McCormick will not be on any committee of my department that I run at this time. If that's unacceptable to the Member, then we're going to have to agree to disagree.
