Mr. Speaker, the Six Nations Indian band in Ontario recently filed a legal action against the province of Ontario and the federal government seeking compensation for land, money from land sales, revenue from mineral rights and compound interest on any money owed.
This claim, which relates to all transactions in the province since 1784, is estimated by one of the chiefs to be in the neighbourhood of $400 billion.
I hope we get one clear answer from the government today. Will the government or someone from the government confirm to the Canadian taxpayer if the federal government has in fact advanced any federal funds in support of this legal action?
