Mr. Speaker, I apologize to the hon. member if he has been unable to get a response; I will certainly look into it. We will look very quickly into the situation in his riding.
As appointments come due we are filling the chairmen positions of different UI boards of referees across the country. We are proceeding as quickly as we can. It is a complicated process, as the member knows, because each person who is recommended must have certain checks done in terms of background, appropriateness for the job, and so on. It does take a little time to register each appointment.
I will certainly look into the situation in the member's riding. If he gives me the information on it we will have action for him very quickly.
