We are working with MACA on a land development strategy, but we have made significant progress in the last little while. Communities where there was some land tied up are starting to make more and more land available to the Housing Corp, because they realize too that it’s beneficial to them. We’ve seen a couple of good examples of that. If that partnership continues to flourish then I think we’re going to see that we’ll be able to have more and more access to land. As the Member knows, there’s lots of band land in some of the communities. That’s an ongoing process and it’s one that we’re quite pleased with. We’re making some progress with that and the more we work with the communities and they realize that it would be good for them because it would allow more houses to get on the ground, and that’s something we’re working on.
I think the Member’s second point was on the transition from public housing to private housing. With that, we continue to try and get our ownership programs out there. The renovation money for homeowners has gone up quite a bit. There’s been a huge investment in major M and I’s and the public housing stock. With the money that we receive from the feds and matched by this government, we’re
hoping to make huge progress in the quality of the units in the communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
