Mr. Speaker, I would think that is more likely a comment to be coming from our hon. friends on the other side of the House.
I did meet with representatives from treaty six and friendship centres in Cold Lake. We talked about the issue of compensation and about the problems of abuse in the residential schools.
I explained that not only do we have a healing fund which will help those who were abused in residential schools but we are indeed dealing with claims. Some claims have been settled in provinces like Saskatchewan. We are working on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to not compound the victimization of those who have been hurt.
