Yes, I’ll have a discussion with the MACA Minister. It is an area we’ve seen a great improvement and I was responding to Mr. Bromley before when I mentioned that there were some issues worked out between his communities and the Housing Corporation to making land available. We were having good discussions with one of the Member’s communities where they’re thinking about making land available. As I said before, putting houses on the ground is something that we do. Land tenure is something we continue to work on. Communities are starting to realize now that it is to their benefit to have land available. We’re not unreasonable. We don’t expect anything for free. Housing never gets anything for free, but we’re willing to work with the communities and try to identify lands so that if they’re allocated houses, there will be no saying that we don’t have the land, we can’t build the house. We never want to get into that situation. So it’s beneficial to both parties to make sure the land is available and we’re making good progress in our dealings with some of the communities that have band lands and other lands of those type.
