Thank you. This was one of the items that we discussed in Finding the Right Balance: Option For Changing Land Development Practices. In there we are talking about credit for previous lease payments. What we are saying is that for existing lots, previous lease payments made on a lot could be credited against the correct replacement costs, historic replacement costs or standard lot price in an equity lease. For example, if a leasee has made lease payments for ten years on a $15,000 lot, $2,500 would be discounted. That is ten years times $250, leaving $12,500 outstanding without interest. The outstanding balance is based on cost minus previous lease payments so there are options. The hamlet and the communities set the price on those lots. That is the option that they can look at. It is not that we are saying everybody has to pay a certain price, whether they are on old lots or on new lots. The hamlet sets the price of lots, not the government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister indicate whether the hamlets would be able to charge less than $600 a year per lot or could they charge any price they feel like for a lot, or is the price fixed by the policy? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What we are trying to do here is work with the communities through a consultation process. We do have land administrators trained to deal with the community. We are trying to give the hamlets different options and work with them when they are setting the prices, so it is the call of the hamlet. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will waste my final supplementary on repeating the question. Will the hamlets be able to charge whatever they feel like for a lot, including less than $600 a lot? Thank you.

Question 514-13(4): Compensation For Flood Victims
Item 6: Oral Questions

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Mr. Speaker, in my opening statement I made reference to the flood conditions that the Mackenzie Delta find themselves in at this time of year but also in relation to the floods that have occurred in Manitoba and how the federal government was able to come to their assistance to assist individuals to cope with the loss. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Premier a question in regards to has this government made an attempt to meet with their federal counterparts to look and see if there is such a program available to the residents of the Mackenzie Delta in regards to their loss in relation to the flood that is occurring there now and the damage that is caused to individual's property such as cabins and cottages and whatnot in the Mackenzie Delta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is no flood compensation for cabins. Compensation is only given if a primary residence is lost. This is the same as being offered in Manitoba today. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, federal compensation is for primary residences only, the main residence of the person. It is not for cottages, cabins, trappers' cabins. That is our understanding of it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regards to residence usage, especially around the Inuvik area a lot of individuals live down by the river and consider that as their residency because of the cost of living in Inuvik and also the privacy they would like to have. So there are individuals who live in their camps year round in the Inuvik area. Will those individuals be classified as residents who occupy those facilities year round?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Any individual who lives in their cabin or their camp year round and they consider that their primary residence, we will be pleased to work with those individuals on a case by case basis to see if we can get them compensation through the federal government program. We will do our best to assist them. All we need are the names and the requests. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Premier for agreeing to consider looking at those individuals. I would like to ask the Premier if he could also talk to the individuals in the region to assist people with processing of applications so they can get their claims in as soon as possible so the residents of the Mackenzie Delta will be able to identify those individuals and assist them in processing their applications? Thank you.
