Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development. Cominco, one of Canada's largest companies, has shut down the Anvil Range mine in Faro, Yukon leaving hundreds unemployed and stranded. The minister's EI rules are keeping families trapped in the remote north with no hope of work or moving to get to work.
In light of the minister's huge surplus and considering the remoteness of the location involved, will the minister help these families with the costs of moving to a new job?
