Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for bringing this case to my attention. It is the first time I have heard of it. I will investigate it right after question period and we will see what happens.
Canada Mortgage And Housing Corporation November 4th, 1998
Mr. Speaker, I would like to make the hon. member understand that, first of all, with this new appraisal and qualification system, every buyer gets an immediate response. So, our priority is to serve the buyer so that he can have a secured loan to buy a property.
Second, we are not the lenders and we make sure that, when financial institutions grant a loan for an appraised property, and building projects in general, there is premium to pay, a rather small one, in my view. And with modern technology—
Canada Mortgage And Housing Corporation November 3rd, 1998
Mr. Speaker, if CMHC were to appraise every property individually, the cost would be higher than at present.
The hon. member should be aware that, thanks to new technological developments in doing appraisals, we are able to transfer the resulting savings over to the users. That is why the charge is a minimal one. We are constantly trying to reduce fees, and when we can bring them down, we will.
Canada Mortgage And Housing Corporation November 3rd, 1998
Mr. Speaker, CMHC has an appraisal system which it uses along with the financial institutions. CMHC also has an insurance component.
Overall, the purpose is to do an appraisal, and the cost is shared among the users.

Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada participates in different sports activities, whether it is Formula 1, hockey, baseball or football. These sports are sponsored by the Government of Canada. I think the member should be proud that when Canadians and the rest of the world are watching a hockey game they will see that Canada is there.
