I want to thank the Minister for that. Given the Minister of Health and Social Services' very positive comments yesterday, I was eager to hear how other departments would coordinate with Health and Social Services in looking for a solution to this problem. I hope the Minister will agree to take this matter up with Mrs. Groenewegen and see if some arrangement can be arrived at and if this can be made somewhat of a priority.
I want to move to one other matter now, if I could, Mr. Chairman. Again, this is the area of northern manufacturing. I would like to ask the Minister, in some of the programs that the department has, specifically the Extended Downpayment Program or the Independent Housing Unit Program or other programs where the department is involved in either guaranteeing loans or providing downpayment assistance, can the Minister explain how a Northern Manufacturing Directive is secured when these types of programs are undertaken? Thank you.
