Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wish to continue my colleague from Aivilik's concerns, but I would like to say that the responsibility for giving out tags for polar bears, muskox, narwhal and walrus has been devolved from our government and Fisheries and Oceans to the local HTA, and I wish that to continue. I don't think departments should have control of it and I don't think we should get taxed for polar bears, muskox, narwhals and walruses. They are there to advise and I think it has been working very well.
As you know, Mr. Chairman, the Inuit -- even though they may be aboriginal people and a resident of a certain community -- cannot obtain polar bear and muskox tags if they don't have a general hunting licence. I don't know what sort of quota system there is the western Arctic. I think you need a tag to kill bison in the bison sanctuary out of Providence. Do the rules apply the same way? Does a person need a general hunting licence in order to obtain a tag, the same as applies in the Nunavut area?
