Mr. Speaker, the Minister in his statement also indicated that the government asked the tribunal to allow us to call Northerners as witnesses to explain the importance of the tradition where hearings that affect Northerners are held in the North. They refused to hear them. Is the Minister indicating that we were not even allowed to have witnesses to speak to the tribunal so that we could try to explain to them why it is important to have these important hearings here in the North? Thank you.
