Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of
Municipal and Community Affairs, it is in regard to my opening statement where I talked about the problem that a lot of people were concerned about, especially the Mackenzie Delta, of purchasing the property that their homes are on and also if they do want to purchase a home, they cannot purchase the property outright, because there was a lease-holding policy in the past, because of land claims.
Because the claims have been settled, why is that policy still in place and what are you going to do to assure my communities that they can purchase the properties, that they do occupy outright, instead of just leasing from this government?
