They were supportive that it is unique. I also went to Ottawa in June and met with the Honourable Elmer MacKay, Minister of the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation and I had a very good meeting with him. He did understand, he was very supportive.
He does understand our unique situation and he does support us to be reinstated. I also attended a federal/provincial meeting of Ministers in Toronto in June. The press release that came out of there and the support that we got around that table was unanimous, that they asked the federal government to reinstate the N.W.T. and the Yukon, because of the unique and special needs for housing, immediately back to the 1991 level.
Plus there have been many letters written. There have been some from myself, as well as some from our Premier, and our Minister of Finance. Our Minister of Finance met with Mr. Mazankowski. In June, I met with Mr. Siddon to explain our unique situation. And yet, all of the way down on the line on this issue up until yesterday, we have had a very positive response.
Then it went to the Federal Treasury, the Cabinet, and they rejected it and basically said they had no money. So, that is what has happened in the past.
