Before Nunavut was established all islands in James Bay or Hudson Bay
were included in the Northwest Territories, regardless of the proximity
to Quebec, Ontario or Manitoba. The same would apply to the newly
created Nunavut. Any question on this would be solved with the prefix
used, VY0, which is Nunavut.
