If not this, then what? GN says Baffinland expansion is the best bet to boost economy

The challenge Nunavut faces is pretty stark when it comes to the economy. We have highest rates of unemployment. We have some of the highest rates of food insecurity, Onalik prefaced in a reply to a question from Baffinland s lawyer on whether the expansion fits into Nunavut s priorities. In addition to the people that are currently unemployed and who are currently unable to provide the necessities of life for their family, we re facing 10,000 young people across Nunavut becoming adults [in the next 10 years]. That s a very high number.

Public hearing to resume April 12 - Arctic Journal

Arctic Journal NUNAVUT The Nunavut Impact Review Board has extended the timeline on the proposed expansion of the Mary River iron mine, with the public hearing to resume April 12 and run until April 21 at the Aqsarniit Hotel and Conference Centre in Iqaluit.  Baffinland wants to build a 110‐kilometre railroad that would carry up to 12 million tonnes of iron ore each year to a port at Milne Inlet, as well as accommodate up to 176 ship transits per year. Opponents of the expansion say it will affect caribou in the area and narwhal in the waters around the port.  The Board has invited five representatives from each of the seven communities of the North Baffin region: Pond Inlet, Igloolik, Hall Beach, Arctic Bay, Clyde River, Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord.
