Mr. Speaker. First of all, I will just step back a little bit, each individual house owner or, I should say tenant, was advised and given, as I said on a number of occasions in 1996, the first option to purchase their house. They were given a significant period of time to decide on that. We also indicated, at that time, that if they were not prepared to purchase the house, we were prepared to put them out to the communities at first, and give the communities an option to purchase. Then after that, we would go into the regions. I am pleased to say, in Mr. Enuaraq's riding for example, in Clyde River, a development corporation owned and operated by aboriginal people has purchased the homes in that community, and other aboriginal organizations in Pangnirtung and Broughton Island are doing the same. Thank you.
