Mr. Speaker, last Friday I was on the reserve and met with the district manager. At that time the district manager did say there was no allocation designated for the reserve, there were no special projects or access to housing projects, nothing. My concern, Mr. Speaker, is that we are still not addressing the issue of social housing for people who cannot afford to maintain or support themselves. I am talking about senior citizens and social assistance recipients. Because of it being a reserve, this government has never addressed the public housing issue for the reserve. There are still many homeless people who cannot afford the initiatives this government has. The only other alternative, Mr. Speaker, is public units. I would like to ask whether he intends to put public units on the reserve to address the people who do not fit into those particular programs?
