This is the best summary I could come up with:

Following an Iqaluit council meeting Tuesday where the company presented to councillors, deputy mayor Kimberly Smith told CBC the request seemed "a little preposterous."

Alan Lawrie, who manages Iqaluit's Northmart store, appeared before city council over Zoom Tuesday night.

The company says this is all from a broken pipe at building 194, which spilled more than two million litres of water, and went unnoticed until December.

They city eventually denied the ask, but suggested the company book a meeting with mayor and council.

Sheppard also said there's no provision to allow for forgiveness of payment of water bills because of leaks, no matter who the applicant is.

"There's no allowance in our policy or procedures in a situation like this where the leak was entirely due to a break in the pipes of the recipient," he said.
