I'm the son of a fisherman. The impacts were the same as they were on the island portion of Newfoundland. Certainly, there was a question of the viability, the future and living in the region. Nunatsiavut has much less investment from the province or the Government of Canada in infrastructure and other things. We're completely isolated. There are no roads going into Nunatsiavut. There was a question of how the economy of northern Labrador was going to go forward.
This was before the land claims agreements. Fortunately for us, the largest nickel mine in the world just happened to be around the corner, and land claims just happened to be around the corner, but there was a lot of outward migration and a lot of mass.... I guess the economic standards dropped, and we're still below the provincial average in the poverty level and other social and economic factors.
