Bad gas causes a stink
The standing committee
gathered to hear a motion raised by Quttiktuk Rebekah Williams about bad gas
in several communities last week, and members of several of the territorys
wildlife boards packed into the gallery.
Hunters in different regions
have been saying for months that there is something wrong with the fuel theyre
using in their tanks. "The state of gasoline quality may have a direct
negative impact on snowmobiles, outboard motors and all-terrain vehicles which
harvesters rely on for making a livelihood," wrote Joannie Ikkidluak, chairperson
of the Qikiqtaaluk Wildlife Board, in a letter tabled in the assembly.
