Mr. Chairman, could the Member please repeat the question?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I will ask the president to respond to that question. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I again will ask the president to answer that question. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like the president to answer that question. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is very important, and I alluded to this in the appearance before the committee, that we are leveraging new funds. Not necessarily new dollars, but inviting other departments to participate in our overall strategy to raise a profile of small, non-tax-based municipality home ownership. There are several new initiatives that are being presented to Cabinet in mid-May. I believe we will be able to, at that time, show that we can create a housing market in non-taxed-based municipalities, providing that land matters are taken and put under control of either the local community ownership, either through the bands or the municipalities. That is one of the key questions we have been dealing with.

The revisions to the overall housing delivery programs will improve the level of home delivery. That is the essence of this shift in this revision. I would like to advise the Member that we are working fast and furious to get that underway. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not aware of the specific details, but I will ask our president to respond to the question. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, with all due respect, I believe it is a wise comment. We have heard that throughout the week. The important thing here is that we are going to the communities with the intent of developing more homeownership. I still believe the needs survey will determine the housing needs of each community.

The important thing here is that we involve the community governments to come forth with the knowledge that we are delivering homeownership. I still believe that if we do things according to our strategic plan, we will be able to meet all of the thresholds within four years. That is the intent of our visits. To convince the community government that is the proper way to go.

I feel that if we can revise many of the existing programs and put more dollars into economic housing, than we can meet those objectives. I believe the president would like to add to this comment, Mr. Chairman, if he can. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is a big philosophy regarding that question. I will try to answer it as best I can.

One of the things we are finding is that the committee has long said they did not have enough ministerial visits to look first hand at some of the housing problems. We are trying to address that very quickly. Secondly, I think that it is important to visit communities, especially when we are starting to deal with communities on the lease-back option.

In the context of what the sessional statement says, government to government, we want to involve all community governments in participating with us to address housing needs. That is the basic philosophy behind our visits.

The other thing that is important to understand here is that good, healthy, community lifestyles are based on good housing, because housing is really the cornerstone for healthy living. That is the reason for our visits, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to again ask Mr. Anderson to respond to that question. Thank you.
