Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that there is no policy that says they can't be done. I'm saying that I'm a strong advocate, as everybody knows, of ownership. Particularly, in the aboriginal business community, I think it is absolutely essential. It is one way in which to provide -- and I keep quoting my friend Jack Anawak -- an opportunity for aboriginal people to be landlords in their own land. Politically, I'm not opposed to it. I think it is a good idea, but I would have to caution by saying it would have to meet certain criteria.
There would have to be a cost analysis done, strong public support for it within the municipality or hamlet, and it would have to be in the best interests of the government financially. I don't think there is any opposition, and there is certainly no policy that opposes this. That is what I'm trying to say.
