Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not know whether it is still in effect in the south, but I know that we do not deliver it any more. Thank you.

Item 5, oral questions. Supplementary, Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Speaker, to the same Minister, that program is not available in the north any longer. There have been a number of clients, in my constituency, who took advantage of that particular program. Would the Minister be able to review, to determine whether it is beneficial for these individuals to possibly tie into another type of a program other than the Rural and Remote Program, that is no longer available? Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Housing Corporation, along with the communities right now, are revising the Homeownership Program, and that should make it so that more people are eligible to apply for the Homeownership Program. That should alleviate that problem of not having that Rural and Remote Program.

Supplementary, Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Speaker, I do not believe that the Minister caught my question. I asked if his department, or the Housing Corporation, would review the existing clients who have a Rural and Remote Program, which is no longer available in the south, and see if it would be possible, and be more beneficial to these individuals, whether or not they can take advantage of another program, if the Rural and Remote Program is indeed redundant? Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe I could get some clarification, if I am allowed, from the Member. My understanding is that the Rural and Remote Program is a mortgage program, and those clients that were involved do have a mortgage. Are you asking to have another program set up where people could go and borrow the money to pay off that rural and remote mortgage? Is that the question?

I will allow the Member to give clarification, it will not count as one of your supplementaries.

Mr. Speaker, rural and remote, as I understood it, is not only a mortgage program, through C.M.H.C., but I believe it was available through N.W.T. Housing Corporation, and that program is no longer available under the criteria that my constituents applied for. If that program is no longer available, what other options are available to my constituents to take care of the redundant program that they are in?

Mr. Morin. Did the clarification, make it clear?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are no other options, but I will discuss the issue with the Member later on.

Item 5, oral questions. Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be to the Minister of Transportation in regard to the Lake Harbour airstrip.

My question is, has his department done any surveys on different locations in Lake Harbour for the future plan to build an airstrip?

Mr. Whitford.

The question has been taken as notice. Item 5, oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes.

Supplementary, Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Speaker, would he be able to give us the guidelines, and the amount available to constituents under the Emergency Repair Program? Thank you.
