Madam Speaker, the RCMP have been investigating the disappearance of certain people. Some of these files have been open for a number of years. These files have never been closed. The investigations into each of the disappearances are ongoing. When the task force was set up to investigate the incidents at Giant Mine a year and a half ago, they took the expertise in the task force and made them available to the members of the RCMP detachment who were assigned to carry on the investigations into these missing persons. There has been some support, advice and consultation provided to the investigating officers by members of the task force. I last checked with them about two or three months ago to ask what the status was and they had said that they felt the investigations should be enhanced as a result of the additional support and expertise that was made available to these investigations. Other than that, I did not ask for details. They believe letting out pieces of information that come up in the course of investigations could compromise the investigation. So I have left it at that. But I have felt the same concern as the Member for families and friends who have to suffer with the uncertainty of what exactly has happened to these individuals. Thank you.
