Mr. Chairman, Aqiarurnak Bay is Coral Harbour's designated area, and Repulse Bay has completely welcomed them to use their airstrip, anyway. They are relatives. As we know, close communities are usually interrelated. The advice is from the field operations officer who advised Coral Harbour that, according to regulations, you cannot hunt from other communities. Period. There are no options given. I guess what I want from the Minister is, can there be options if Repulse Bay or a neighbouring community gives a blessing, because their designated area for Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay is one and the same location and are the same whale? The only difference is that they split the quota between Repulse Bay and Coral Harbour, but from that zone there is one quota for that area. But they split it so that Coral Harbour could have some and Repulse Bay could have some from the same area. Thank you.
