Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
First, I have been looking into this further. It is my understanding that more than 70% of the cases which involve churches involve them because the claimants, former students in residential schools, sued not only the federal government but also the church organizations.
It is not correct to say that in all the cases, or even in most of them, churches have been added because of federal government action.
I am looking into this matter further. In the meantime, I am glad he is confirming that the discussions I have had so far with the church leadership have been useful.
