Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have been in contact with the honourable Minister of Indian Affairs. Earlier on in this, after we had found out about the reductions from the federal government, we did talk to him in Yellowknife, person to person, and we followed up with letters. For the Members information, I believe that the Minister was somewhat supportive. How supportive he was in Ottawa, I do not know. I think that is the avenue that has continued to be explored
through Indian Affairs. What is their responsibility, if they have any dollars to commit to help us out in this time of need? I assure the Member that I will do that. I am not too sure about a ministerial guarantee of non-profit housing; I am not sure about what the Member is referring to, but I will follow it up. If it is that the Co-op Housing Program, that is another thing that was affected in the cuts. There is no longer a Co-op Housing Program. That program was cut completely. That is the program they used in Fort Smith. Maybe I can follow that up. As far as housing subsidies and other benefits employees of this government receive, firehalls, arenas, water and sewer, all kinds of things that we make decisions on this House to spend money on, I think we have to revamp this, because this is the direction that I have always got, and this is my fifth year. The number one priority of this government is housing, and I have always taken that just for the way it is said, "it is the number one priority of this government, and we have to do whatever possible." We have a chronic housing shortage in the Northwest Territories, and we have to do whatever possible to address it. I would like to assure the Member that the civil servants that I have been involved with, the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation have assisted us, represented the Northwest Territories through me, assisted me with my briefing notes, and they are very sincere in helping solve this problem. They have put in many, many hours of work to solve this problem, so when they deal with C.M.H.C officials, and other jurisdictions, their officials, they are quite sincere, and they put a lot of work into it. So, I would not agree that is has not got the right exposure, because bureaucrat is negotiating with bureaucrat. That is not the way it is. Our people are very committed to trying to get our funding re-instated, they have been very supportive, done a very good job, and they should be commended.
