Mr. Chairman, I have a quick question on field operations. These renewable resource officers are trained either in some colleges or perhaps Arctic College in Fort Smith to uphold the legislation or regulation of the government. When I was coming back to Coral Harbour because I was told by my friends, you better come back quickly because we are pulling names from the hats of the eligible polar bear tag and your name is in it. I said, sure, I will try to come back there as soon as the committee meetings are over. However, when the tag was pulled, my name was pulled. Somebody complained that if I spend so much time in Yellowknife because of the meetings, how can I be eligible. The HTA agreed that they will not have my name on the hunters list until this is cleared. I packed up and went home hoping that I would get my tag. I didn't because there was a question on it. I went to attack the renewable resource officer verbally, Mr. Chairman, and asked him about the legal procedures or regulations for the GHL holders, if they are a resident of the community, which I am, and so on. Why didn't you, as a government employee, with a full salary and housing subsidy and VTA, with your responsibility to legally advise the HTA what is proper according to regulation and what is improper, tell the HTA that, legally, they have to grant it to me because I am no different from anyone else in the community?
I am using me as an example, but I am worried that, sometimes, there is a political game played in the community that a hunter or trapper wants to be liked so much by the HTA in the community, he starts listening, not advising what the regulations are. What is the measure of those individual employees of the government who have no direct supervisor including the supervision from the GLO? What is the mechanism to ensure that the government's regulations are fairly practised and the HTAs are advised that this is improper according to law?
