Mr. Speaker, on June 5, the officials of Human Resources Development advised the offices in the regions of Quebec affected by the ice storm to stop all new activities involving additional funds.
Despite the injection of $6.4 million into the program, the Quebec region is still short nearly $2 million and there is still a desperate need. We have been told that an additional $9 million plus is required.
Will the Minister of Human Resources Development follow the recommendations of his officials and ask Treasury Board for additional funds?
