Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today I explained how the people of Grise Fiord, the northern-most community of Canada have received real support and assistance from this government, in solving the problem with the failed sea-lift. I first raised this emergency issue with the government in the House on October 4, today is November 27, and it is my understanding that the government has still not committed any financial assistance to offset the increased costs of all the goods that have been flown into Grise Fiord.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier, can he please inform the House why this government has still not offered any concrete assistance to the people of Grise Fiord almost 8 weeks after this issue was raised in this House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
