Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be to Mr. Arlooktoo regarding Plan 2000. I just happened to look in a book and I found a comment that is sort of appropriate and it says "do not be afraid of opposition. Remember a kite rises against, not with the wind." Mr. Speaker, I have obtained the Plan 2000 and we are not hitting the target with it. Let us establish a few basic facts. The housing crisis or shortage exists in level two-three communities. They have the highest unemployment, the least developed economies and private sector markets. They are, Mr. Speaker, the poorest communities, least likely to have many income earners between $50 thousand and $90 thousand per year.
You can walk into a chartered bank and secure a residential mortgage, even with a Down Payment Assistance Program. My question to the Minister is, with a birth rate that is presently three and a half times the national average, will the government, after its three year program, be able to continue to build these number of units in economies that are not yet established? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
