When I was there in 2006, it was shortly after we'd formed a government. I did an extensive report that identified certain things that should be in the recommendations as a priority. One of the items I noted back in 2006 was the great difficulty in land ownership and reform.
From the speaking notes and talking notes that we have here on our discussions on Haiti, I note that one of the difficulties is the need for 200,000 homes, particularly now, after the earthquake. They are basic transitional wooden box homes. They're not very complex. After more than a year, they've only been able to erect 30,000 to date. It would suggest to me that the people living under tarpaulins will be under tarpaulins for another five years before they get into even a modest home. They say the great difficulty is in land tenure, land ownership, and deciding who owns what.
I would think the government would be able to move the situation along more quickly than that. Could you comment on what the great difficulty is? What is holding it up so that we have 170,000 families still living under temporary plastic tents?
