Natural Resources committee  I'm not sure.

Natural Resources committee  We had been told, when we were doing community consultation, that for every one mining job there were two jobs in the south. That's a pretty darned good return, the way I understand it. I think for Nunavut to move forward we need to have resource development. It's an extremely im

Natural Resources committee  I am not aware of that. The only thing I see, the biggest problem that I see happening, is that our territorial government.... I think some of the people who would like to work and who could work will quit, because a quarter of your salary has to go to pay for housing, for exampl

Natural Resources committee  Sorry...?

Natural Resources committee  I would like to use myself as an example. I went to a residential school in Churchill, Churchill Vocational Centre. There's a school there focused on what sorts of skills the Inuit people had. One of the things that made it interesting is that we were able to look at being a mech

Natural Resources committee  I am not aware of it. The process is just starting. For the record, I'd like to say that we have a gold mine. Caribou do migrate through that area.

Natural Resources committee  We really need good role models. We need good role models to look up to, who will help our youth better understand how education can pay off for their future.

Natural Resources committee  Baker Lake is the geographical centre of Canada, and that has been our slogan to try to help attract tourism. I think prior to the mine, we had a lady named Jessie Oonark, a very famous printmaker, who was an attraction for tourists. The problem is that for anybody to come up to

Natural Resources committee  I am not aware of it. I will certainly bring this matter up with the hamlet council. I have your card.

Natural Resources committee  I will see what I can do to provide you with information on it.

Natural Resources committee  I'm not aware of any federal funding for our community, but Baker Lake is a hotbed for exploration. We have a mine, and they have an offloading facility. We don't even have proper infrastructure for a port to offload our barges. A floating barge offloads all their materials. Comp

Natural Resources committee  They have tried.
