Hon. Elmer M. MacKay (Minister of Public Works):
Madam Speaker, even though the information does come from a very dubious source, of course I will

investigate. I can tell the House unequivocally that I have not had anything brought to my attention that would indicate that Mr. Thomsteinson has any difficulty.
I would point out to the House that in today's real estate market, it is not uncommon that a lot of people may be a little slow in making their payments. I have no such evidence that that is the case with Mr. Thomsteinson.

Hon. Elmer M. MacKay (Minister of Public Works):
Madam Speaker, this government will continue to spend over $2 billion a year on social housing.
We are not abandoning our commitment to social housing. We are simply asking our partners in the provinces and in other areas of shared jurisdiction to join with us in utilizing the savings of direct borrowing and other flexible things that Canada Mortgage and Housing
can now do because of legislative amendments to be innovative and help us find new and more responsible ways to fund social housing.

Hon. Elmer M. MacKay (Minister of Public Works):
Madam Speaker, we are prepared to meet with all our interest groups and our provincial partners to see what can be done under the circumstances to maintain a commitment to social housing.
The member knows, as do all members in this House, that we cannot continue to fund social housing on the same basis as we have in the past.

Hon. Elmer M. MacKay (Minister of Public Works):
Mr. Speaker, my colleague has his figures right, as he usually does. I cannot tell him exactly how many new units we will be assisting with this year because the provinces have not yet supplied me with the data. As he knows, each year the provinces may decide to allocate their programs differently.
In 1994 governments will be invited to participate in new and imaginative ways to deliver social housing. I can assure him that when the data are available from the provinces I will immediately make sure that he gets them.
Subtopic: HOUSING
May 5, 1993
Hon. Elmer M. MacKay (Minister of Public Works):
Mr. Speaker, I believe that my colleague is suggesting that he does not approve of the rent geared to income being raised from 25 per cent to 30 per cent.
I have certain hesitations there too, but I have to point out to him that it is in British Columbia and Ontario, two socialist provinces, and New Brunswick, a Liberal province, where this is being done, so we had better speak to some of our provincial colleagues in this regard as well.
