Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question.

Yesterday I had a conversation with Mr. Watso of the Micmac Indian Band. We addressed the problem. It is a very serious problem coming from the report of the Canadian Human Rights Commission released on October 6. We are looking at it. When the minister returns we will have more consultations with the Micmacs of Newfoundland.
