Mr. Chair, I want to thank the member for his discussion points and his speech and congratulate him as a new member. This has been one thing he has been working on since he got here. He has been working directly with the minister. He has been asking a lot of us in the House that it happen quickly and that we go as fast as possible. In the discussions he has had, I would assume that he recognizes the constraints on the minister.
What is the responsible way to go? I assume the member would agree that we would have to respect the court, respect the partners and respect the people currently in the trust. Look at the trust as a first way, as the first area, because there is more than likely an actuarial surplus. We all think there is, but it has to be established. The dates had been set and the methodology when the friendly settlement was reached with the first claims group.
Would the hon. member not agree that the minister, since he has taken office, has been very responsive and is doing everything in the quickest way possible with the constraints that are normal for a position such as this?
