Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. MacGregor. I respect everyone's views and stance and thoughts, but it's very easy for someone who is living down south in the urban area where they're connected to highways and grocery stores and everything to just pick up food. They don't need firearms and have no use for them.

Public Safety committee  No, they do not. In my opinion, they do not do that.

Public Safety committee  I'll start off by saying that maybe the 22% part there.... Please be aware that every Nunavut community is fly-in only. There is no road connected to here, so nothing can be trucked here. Everything is flown in, which raises the prices dramatically. With regard to the consultation part, I believe that the proper way would be to consult with the people on the ground who will be affected.

Public Safety committee  I'd like to thank you for coming to Nunavut. I encourage everyone who is here listening across the country and our nation to come see our beautiful territory. Hunting is so important. Like I said, we are so isolated. There are no roads connecting us. Everything is really expensive, and it's fly-in only.

Public Safety committee  Thank you for that. That's a negative. No, we were not consulted on anything, on how we would have been affected or impacted. There was absolutely no consultation or information flowing to us in the whole territory of Nunavut here at our level.

Public Safety committee  I am not aware of anything that happened in Yukon territory, as I am in Nunavut. As I am aware, there were no consultations that took place in Nunavut.

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, I would like to thank you for the invitation to present to this committee. I would also like to express our appreciation to our member of Parliament, Lori Idlout, for her work in representing the issues of Nunavut with respect to the proposed amendments to Bill C-21.
