Written Question 19-15(3): Harvesting Assistance Program And The Income Support Program

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my written question is to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment on the harvesting assistance program.

Can the Minister confirm whether harvests' assistance payments are being clawed back from harvesters, including Sahtu, Gwich'in and/or Inuvialuit land claim beneficiaries under the income support program and, if so, can he provide the rationale for these clawbacks?

Thank you.
