Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. We learned in April that the federal government had set up an interdepartmental committee to study the Mohawk issue, a committee made up of the Minister of Indian Affairs and four of his Cabinet colleagues, namely the Minister of Justice, the Minister of National Revenue, the Minister of Industry and the Solicitor General.
Can the Prime Minister confirm the existence of such a committee and tell us the exact nature of its mandate and activities?
