Mr. Speaker, the Member raised this particular case and brought it to my attention yesterday. I naively thought it was very straightforward and simple, and was quite optimistic I could resolve it right away. However, the Member should be aware that the information which I have received from government officials, who have spoken and met with Ms. Mike in Iqaluit earlier this year, have a different version of what was transmitted to her. Because of the conflict and the difference about what was understood and what had been agreed to, it is not going to be a simple matter of me giving the Member assurance it will be dealt with promptly. I have assured the Member, however, I will do what I can to give some comfort to his constituent. I have extended to all Members that we will look at all of these particular and specific cases one by one. I hope we are not going to discuss them all in this Legislature. I want to assure the Member we are looking into it and would hope we can resolve it in the next day or so. Thank you.
