(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of the Housing Corporation in regards to the H.A.P. Housing Program.
It is very appealing for people, especially when there is a shortage of public housing. I seem to notice now, or be more aware, that the people who get H.A.P. housing, it is not because they make errors in the building, but sometimes they are short of lumber.
Around 1980, I know that they were applying for H.A.P. housing, and if they were short of materials, then they were able to get more. Now adays, even when they are short of materials, even if they ask, it seems to be getting harder to obtain the material that they are short of, because they can only own it after five years of living in it.
I know it is not just with the housing authority, or the recipients. I wonder if this has been dealt with, if they can provide more material if there is a shortage. Thank you.
