Inuit families relocated to the High Arctic islands in the early '50s suffered no hardships and have no basis for a claim of government compensation.

"There was no hardship," shouted Bent Sivertz under questioning by commissioners on the conditions endured at Resolute Bay. Sivertz was the Executive Assistant to the Deputy Minister of the Department of Resources and Development at the time of the move.
