Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Member for that example. Those concerns were part of the reason why we initially had a proposal to Cabinet, whereby there was a suggestion that the government may be able to subsidize some of the lots in tax-based communities. In particular, those tax-based communities that were being impacted, like Inuvik and Yellowknife. However, FMB and Cabinet did not agree with that proposal, mainly because we felt that these lots were -- there was no shortage of lots. If we keep in mind that what we were trying to accomplish here was to assist communities to make lots available for the public in the smaller communities, what you have just described as a problem with developers coming in and taking the risk of developing lots on the chance of selling them is a fact of life in the smaller communities. Therefore, MACA has agreed to come up with a program to develop an inventory of lots in small communities, say five, ten -- whatever the community sees as a possibility of being able to use in a given number of years.
Now, obviously what you have identified in Inuvik is part of the same concern that was in the smaller communities. However, the only policy MACA has to assist tax-based communities is what I said earlier to the Member for Great Slave, Mr. Braden. We offered debentures to the community, or the other option they have is to go straight to the Minister of Finance and request a loan that the government may be able to take on behalf of them and offer them better rates. In other words, offer a loan to the community. That is the only policy I have in place at this time, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
