Mr. Speaker, this is a much-needed economic opportunity for communities where unemployment and the cost of living is much too high. I will be urging my fellow Baffin MLAs and the Minister of Renewable Resources, and his officials, to devote every effort to seeking the approval of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the Honourable Fred Mifflin, for our fair share of these valuable groundfish from our waters.
