Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of the Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, last session the Minister made an announcement about new programs with the Housing Corporation. I am particularly interested in the program taking the place of the HAP program. What is the criteria with respect to land ownership to be able to obtain access to the home ownership program? Are you able to own the land outright, or can the band grant land?

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister indicate to this House if a particular band wants to allow a band member to have a piece of property in trust, and it is band lands, in order to access the home ownership program is this process allowed? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister has said he believes it is, but I have been advised by my constituents otherwise. Will the Minister review and determine the eligibility for lands which are to be used in order to access the new home ownership program and advise this House of the criteria? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a letter which was written by the government to Marcel Masse with regard to the Canadian Armed Forces shooting caribou. The Minister also met with Tom Siddon on the 13, and asked the Minister to convey the same message to Kim Campbell with regard to a written apology by the armed forces for their conduct. Does the Minister have any further information on that?

Mr. Speaker, our request for any response and apology does not seem to be very high on their list. Subsequently, just to keep the paper flow going we have written on three or four occasions and the only response we have received back was that they are taking our request into consideration, but there has been nothing affirmative at this time.

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, this question is with respect to access to home ownership. Can the Minister review the home ownership program to see if there are any impediments that place barriers in front of the band members who may be trying to access these new home ownership programs announced in December? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agreed to do that review to begin with. When I announced the access programs and new home ownership programs in this House, I made it very clear to Members and the general public that we would be interested in their input and willing to review those programs and look at changing them next fall to better suit the people's needs. If they have any concerns, they can bring them forward and we will address them. That was what was said when we announced the programs. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I asked the Minister whether he would take the time to review the programs which he announced last December in respect to determining whether there are any barriers on the new home ownership program to band members. Thank you.
