Where the Housing Corporation could find these agreements that were made with individuals, if there’s an agreement actually in place, then we’re honouring those agreements. Where there are no agreements, and we’ve heard this from a number of communities or individuals, and problems happen, for example, on IBA lands -- that’s Indian band lands -- in communities where housing units were established. That became a problem over the years. They tried to make agreements on that around land tenure. The issue around were agreements made, where there are agreements that can be used, we worked with the groups in honouring that. When agreements were made with the federal government, we don’t have a copy of that. We have to pursue the federal government or the groups have to pursue the federal government to confirm that and have them honour that commitment.
