Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, in looking at the possibility of a new initiative the department can consider, the possibility of providing wood stoves so they can have an alternative source of heat in their homes. The high cost of fuel has driven a lot of these people to reconsider the whole question about home ownership. I think it is important as a government that we find new ways and new initiatives to try to assist whenever possible for those people in those homes to stay in those homes. If there is a way to deal with some of these problems that they are having, more power to them.

I would like to ask the Minister a question regarding my Member's statement. Is there a possibility of looking at a program so people are able to access wood stoves as another alternative source of heat within their homes, so they can use the renewable resources that are out there? It would also generate a viable economic opportunity for the people in the communities. Will the Minister consider looking at that?
