Mr. Speaker, there are a couple of things to consider. One is the fairness of the treatment of these clients compared to those that are in new home ownership programs. The other is, because any changes to this type of financing would mean that money would have to come from the Housing Corporation, if the deal was to be sweetened. One of things that is happening is that the Housing Corporation is presently negotiating with the CMHC to transfer the entire housing portfolio from the federal government to the GNWT and I have instructed our negotiators and our officials to ensure that the file of the R and R clients are part of the negotiating package and that we ensure that they are taken care of.
