Mr. Speaker, the question of protection for minority individuals is important. I will say that there is, and I am speaking on a personal note, as far as I can see. The co-ops and co-op programs through which individuals can put together through their community a request and build and house themselves as a result of their own activity are parts of the continuing program. There are special avenues. I can talk about several communities in which efforts are made to empower individuals to participate in the communities in which they live and to be very much an integrated part of their communities.
In this country we do not have areas in which minorities or various groups take residential patterns because this is the only place in which they can live. Therefore all programs are open equally to everyone regardless of race, colour, nationality, creed, length of stay of Canada, et cetera. The programs for those individuals are really empowering programs to help them to be partners in programs of co-operation where individuals have a sense of belonging, a quality of life, and are able to participate freely in society.
