Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. Mr. Speaker, there are not a lot of opportunities to create jobs or to create wealth in our remote Baffin communities. This opportunity for Inuit enterprises from Baffin to benefit from marine resources in their waters is an opportunity provided to Inuit by the Creator; an opportunity encouraged and entrenched by the Inuit land claim. Last year, unfortunately, Baffin applicants ended up with only 10 per cent of the new available quota. I fervently hope that this year Mr. Tobin will be fair and respectful to Inuit applicants for harvesting rights in their own waters. Qujannamiik.
