My question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
The lack of a chairman for the board of referees in Kootenay West-Revelstoke has denied residents the right of appeal on UIC problems. I raised the issue in the House with the Minister of Human Resources Development on March 11 and was promised speedy results. The latest word is nothing until at least next fall.
Why is this relatively simple process taking so long? What will the minister do to ensure the rights of the people in my riding are not put off any longer?
