Mr. Speaker, Bruce Starlight wrote to the minister of Indian affairs last fall. His privacy was breached and his letter leaked to the chief, Liberal Roy Whitney. Chief Whitney is now using taxpayers' money provided by the minister of Indian affairs to sue Mr. Starlight.
The Deputy Prime Minister said last week that he is looking into paying for Mr. Starlight's legal fees because he recognizes that this is a breach in confidentiality. Is he now prepared to assure Mr. Starlight that his legal fees will be paid?
