Mr. Speaker, my questions this afternoon are for the Minister of Finance and it relates to our ability to cash flow the growing and inexorable deficit that we have in our capacity to afford our housing program. Mr. Speaker, we heard nothing at all in the federal budget yesterday on a national program, let alone a northern basis, for housing. The CMHC program, of course, is drying up. The Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation has suggested that maybe there's something out of an aboriginal program, but I'm not convinced and I want to go to the Minister of Finance to ask what our options are to cash flow for this very long-term and very real need; our government's housing needs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
