They were speaking with a Dene first nation in Northwest Territories, with Yellowknives Dene First Nation Chief Ernest Betsina, I believe, and he spoke a lot about a previous program from the 1980s called HAP, whereby the Government of Canada would buy building supplies and supply them to individuals in various first nations in northern Canada to build their own homes, with assistance from experts where needed. The Dene first nation in the radio program spoke about how that gave a sense of ownership to the first nations, and it created a home and got people out of other government programs. There seemed to be a lot of support for this program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6428905\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Byers, are you familiar with HAP, that program from the 1980s?</p>",

L'\u00e9mission portait sur une Premi\u00e8re Nation d\u00e9n\u00e9e des Territoires-du-Nord-Ouest, et l'animateur discutait avec le chef Ernest Betsina de la Premi\u00e8re Nation d\u00e9n\u00e9e de Yellowknife. Celui-ci a longuement parl\u00e9 d'un programme de logement autochtone en vigueur dans les ann\u00e9es 1980, le HAP, dans le cadre duquel le gouvernement du Canada achetait des mat\u00e9riaux de construction et les fournissait ensuite \u00e0 des membres de diverses Premi\u00e8res Nations du Nord canadien pour qu'ils construisent leurs propres maisons, avec l'aide d'experts au besoin. Le chef de la Premi\u00e8re Nation d\u00e9n\u00e9e disait que ce programme avait donn\u00e9 aux gens un sentiment de propri\u00e9t\u00e9, tout en leur permettant de construire leur maison et de ne plus \u00eatre d\u00e9pendants d'autres programmes gouvernementaux. Ce programme \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ci\u00e9, semble-t-il.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6428905\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Byers, connaissez-vous ce programme d'aide au logement, le HAP, qui \u00e9tait en vigueur dans les ann\u00e9es 1980?</p>"
