Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier and it relates to the issue of the Giant Mine pensioners. Mr. Speaker, when I met with some Giant Mine pensioners last month, they confirmed that they thought this government had done a fair bit to help get the issue raised in Ottawa and were hoping we would continue to do that.

I am concerned today that in response to Ms. Lee, the Premier has said that he does not see how this issue can continue to be a priority. I note, Mr. Speaker, that one of the main agencies we deal with here, DIAND, says right now that the well has run dry. They have no more money. Since DIAND was the department that was held out by the Premier and the Minister responsible for Finance as potentially ready to invest in our future and help us ensure that we had Northerners ready to take on the economic opportunities that are just on the horizon, if DIAND will not follow through on a commitment to Giant Mine pensioners, how can we count on them to follow through on the hope that the Premier and the Minister responsible for Finance have led us to believe we should have?
