Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been in contact with the Minister responsible for the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the honourable Elmer MacKay. I have talked to him on the phone. Our officials have gone to Winnipeg, I believe they are there now, or they did go last week, to meet with other jurisdictions, to see if we can come to any understanding of where we would go from here.
As the Member is aware, all the provincial jurisdictions did support us, and I have also written to the honourable Elmer MacKay to ask him if there was any surplus of funding with the C.M.H.C. programs. Around this time of year, it so happens that some provincial jurisdictions do not spend all of their C.M.H.C. funding, so if there is any surplus, he would look at reallocating that surplus to the territories. Thank you.
