Fred Koe Inuvik

Okay, one more question on loans written off, and loans forgiven, I assume that all reasonable means of collecting these have been followed, and there are policies in place to deal with these?

James Arvaluk Aivilik

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, by reasonable means. Maybe I should ask for clarification, Mr. Chairman, if I may? Is Mr. Koe asking me if he can get information of who still has outstanding loan, who has been forgiven, and things like that? Actual names?

Fred Koe Inuvik

No, I did not want outstanding loans. I just wanted loans written off, and loans forgiven, because I assume there is some policy, some work and materials provided for that, somebody has to approve it somewhere, and I just wanted those lists.

James Arvaluk Aivilik

Mr. Chairman, I think the best way I can answer this one is I will give him a policy, and he can judge for himself whether that is advisable.

James Arvaluk Aivilik

Mr. Chairman, we are really confused right now. Can we get back to the Member on that one, review the policy on whether, in fact, that can be done, because these are the private loans, rather than the collective as in a company. These are individuals. I want to make sure I can do that under this policy. Thank you.
