Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree with the Member that there should be some assistance to help people to continue their traditional lifestyle on the land. I do not know if we can build units out on the land, as well as a unit in the community, for one individual. I remember that there was a Harvester's Support Program that was put together where people would actually stay out on the land, and they would be able to get assistance through Renewable Resources.
I do not think that program is in place yet, or has been moved on. I do not have any answers for the Member right now on whether or not the Housing Corporation would look at putting units out on the land for people. It is something that can be explored, I would not rule it out either.
There always has to be a good mix of building new units, as well as fixing up the older units. If the houses are salvageable, there is a program that can be accessed to fix those older units in the Member's riding, they just have to apply for that.
As far as those units in Kakisa for the three elders the band in Kakisa requested that they be put off until the spring so that they can build them and they could benefit from the economics of building them themselves, so we agreed to that. It makes common sense to do that.
Special needs projects, next year that program will be rolled in with the rest of the programs being revised. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
