Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Minister, himself, has been in the Keewatin for years and has been told

over, and over again that this quality of meat is tops in the whole NWT, as far as caribou meat is concerned. Is the Minister saying, considering these qualities, that $1.25 a pound is a fair rate for caribou the quality of Coral Harbour caribou?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. In Coral Harbour, as I told the Minister before, the caribou are a source of excellent quality meat. The communities specifically request Coral Harbour caribou. The commercial harvest quota is 4,000 heads. However, the community has not been using this quota because it has not been economical, as the current rate of $1.25 per pound offered by the NWT Development Corporation, gives little to no profit for the hunters. Why is the rate set only at $1.25 per pound?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wonder, Madam Speaker, then how is it Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake or Arviat will qualify whereas Coral Harbour will not qualify? Is the Minister saying it's strictly under the cost? I believe that these caribou are flown from Baker Lake and Arviat, possibly Whale Cove or Chesterfield. Is the Minister stating that only up to there, there was a comparison made, and to get caribou from Coral Harbour for $1.25 a pound is that much more expensive than the other communities?

Madam Speaker, the Minister did not answer my question. I asked the Minister, because there is no fall harvesting, I understand they are planning to have one in the spring. Right now, I believe the Rankin Inlet processing plant is still in operation, but where are they getting their meat now for processing today?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am told that from the regional superintendent of Renewable Resources in Keewatin that there will be no commercial harvesting of caribou in Coral Harbour this fall. Can the Minister tell where the Rankin Inlet plant now gets its meat for processing?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism, as he said there is currently a meat processing process plant in Iqaluktuutiat and plant operations also in Rankin Inlet. Is this plant supported right now...Madam Speaker, I'm not talking about capital, how it was built. But is it being supported right now by this government?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion states the electoral boundary of the High Arctic, et cetera...There are two pages of it describing the proposed electoral boundaries and the existing electoral districts of the Northwest Territories. When people were talking to the motion, they seemed to be talking about where land claims are in the North Slave and Sahtu areas which, I feel, has nothing to do with the motion. These will be dealt with when the time comes. Electoral boundaries could be changed everyday if you want to. It has no bearing on anything that will be forthcoming in the future. I just want to know if we are talking about electoral boundaries or land claims?

I just have a question, I'm not debating anything here.

---Laughter

I thought the motion was about electoral boundaries. Can the person who made the motion make it clear to me? I read it, I looked at it, and it is about electoral boundaries. Why are we talking about land claims? Can I have that clarification before I put my hand up? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't know how to phrase my second supplementary, but it's very important to me. The Minister assured me and the council of Coral Harbour that he will be watching this contractor very carefully. As I indicated, I was told that his contract has been terminated in Iqaluit. What other proof or other incident does he require to tell the community of Coral Harbour, yes, I'm now convinced that we have grounds to renege from a contract award that we have issued for this coming spring?
