Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 2001, some 80 planes with about 12,000 passengers landed in Newfoundland. The people of Newfoundland, as usual, opened their hearts, their homes and their wallets to look after these people with assurances from the Government of Canada that they would be reimbursed.
It is now over two years. They have not been reimbursed. The latest rumour is that the government is talking about reimbursing them for half the costs.
What is the truth? When will they get reimbursed for these costs?
