Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason for the change to the act is so that the president of the corporation is appointed by the Minister. This means that the president is appointed by the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation under Section 6.1, and the reason that it is changed is because it is deleting a reference to the board. They are just changing from "board" to "Minister" at this point. When we come back in February we will take the next steps to change it into a department, and that is where we are hoping to change so that it is treated like a department, where the deputy minister is appointed by the Minister of Personnel and the Government Leader.
