Again, I stand to be corrected, but in my discussions with Mr. Mike, who is the president of the Pangnirtung Fishery, he did relate it in the same way as Mr. Allooloo currently spoke to it. He saw it as part of a quota given to aboriginal people and he saw it as part of what he perceived as, perhaps, a right. Now, in terms of clearly defining whether it was given under those circumstances, I would have to look into it. I don't have the legalities of it. I don't know definitively if that's how it was done but it's certainly perceived that way, yes.
