Thank you, Madam Speaker. We have made presentations to the federal government on behalf of the people of the Northwest Territories. We presented the unique case of the people of the Northwest Territories and made it very clear to the federal government that they have a legal responsibility to the aboriginal people of the NWT to supply housing. We've always come from that direction and we will continue to do that.

We've met with them several times to try to get funding for social housing. There is funding for aboriginal housing on reserves in southern Canada. That funding, I understand, will continue. In 1994, there is zero funding for new construction of social housing in the Northwest Territories. Through the Minister of Finance, Mr. Paul Martin, we are attempting to negotiate a package to solve that problem.

Through the CMHC route, the process I was directly involved in, I think we've dried up all avenues to get funding reinstated. There is a slight light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it's not a train, but there is a slight light that with the savings we create within CMHC and the Housing Corporation, we can put that money back into housing. But, I don't expect to get anything through the CMHC process. Thank you.
