We have an abundance of fish in the Northwest Territories, and we’ve mentioned many times about the commercial
fishing on Great Slave Lake and how we need to improve upon that.
It’s my goal over the next two and a half years to try to resurrect the commercial fishing industry on Great Slave Lake. I think we can do it. We’re going to be working with the folks in Hay River and the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation to see how we can make things better.
Obviously, with Great Bear Lake, I mean, that’s some of the best trout in this world, in Great Bear Lake. If there is an opportunity to get that fish out of Great Bear Lake in a commercial manner, again for local consumption and perhaps for export, that’s something that, again, we need to be taking a look at. It’s an opportunity for the community and it could provide a number of jobs as well in a small community.
