Fisheries committee  It is soup to nuts, I guess. In their case, they not only do the aquatic, but they do the terrestrial. So they would have the responsibilities for polar bear, caribou, and everything on the land. Anything that's related to wildlife management they deal with. On that side it's mor

Fisheries committee  I'm not quite sure. Let me give you a couple of examples. The Pangnirtung processing plant that we've talked about is partially owned by the Nunavut government, which has a share in it, as do several of the communities. There are arrangements between fisheries enterprises, some

Fisheries committee  The enforcement under the Fisheries Act is done by our conservation and protection folks.

April 23rd, 2013Committee meeting

David Burden

Fisheries committee  From my perspective—we talked about the fisheries side—I'd look at how we balance the commercial and recreational components, as both my colleagues have said. But we want to be able to look at this question through the lens of resource extraction and what its potential is going t

Fisheries committee  We have the Canada Nunavut co-management board in the east, and in the Northwest Territories we have two major ones, the Inuvialuit and the Gwich'in. Then we have the Sahtu and the Tlicho. The majority of the fisheries management that we do in the west is coordinated through the

Fisheries committee  No, that's under the land claims, and they report and provide guidance to the minister.

April 23rd, 2013Committee meeting

David Burden

Fisheries committee  The first part of your question depends on where we are in the Arctic and what type of fishery we're talking about. If it's the recreational fisheries, much of the fisheries management side of it is delegated to the territories. We provide the scientific research to support them;

David Burden

Fisheries committee  In anything we're doing in the Arctic, because of the land claims agreements, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development is a partner that is always there. When we're into oceans management and some of the broader aspects of our mandate, the federal family is there, but the actu

David Burden

Fisheries committee  I think that would be a question we'd take back to the commissioner of the coast guard and my colleague Mario Pelletier, who is the assistant commissioner for our central and Arctic region. I've had a lot of time in the coast guard over my career, but I think it's inappropriate f

David Burden

Fisheries committee  I'll start by saying that the reason it's incomplete is that it is an emerging fishery, and we're continuing to work. Particularly in the eastern Arctic, we share the resources with Greenland, so we do a biannual multi-species survey divided into two zones. Dave could probably gi

Fisheries committee  The reason for that small craft harbour is that there is a plant in Pangnirtung. It's providing good employment and it has had good returns. With the small craft harbour facility, there is the potential for exploiting the potential much further on the inshore and just having more

David Burden

Fisheries committee  Exactly. If I were the Nunavut government, I think I'd be looking for something out on the coast, and I'm sure when you go, if you're talking to them, that will be one of the issues they'll be talking about. On Great Slave Lake, the issue there is not fish. It's the high cost

David Burden

Fisheries committee  From the discussions I've had with my counterpart from the Northwest Territories government and with Inuvialuit and others in and around the western Arctic, that's an area they see as having potential to exploit, yes.

David Burden

Fisheries committee  I don't think it would be any different in the Mackenzie than it would be in the Yukon or anywhere else. When we're looking at any resource development, we are involved in the review from a fisheries and fisheries protection program standpoint, so we'd be looking at it as commerc
