Mr. Speaker, I guess I underestimated my own power in the House. I appreciate the minister's concern.
A great deal of hardship is being placed on individuals on and off reserve. That is the point I really want to make.
These financial hardships reach right down into the Fundy region where fishermen in Grand Manan have been left out and financial commitments not kept. Simply put, I would like the minister to act in the best interest of all sides, not only the Indian community but those people who are suffering financial hardship in that area.
