Mr. Chairman, pertaining to the motion which has been put forward by my colleague, the Chairman of Finance, I have some concerns. I wonder, Mr. Chairman, if this is contravening the whole government strategy in terms of trying to enhance the housing needs. Although this is an innovative approach, I do not think this idea will fly, especially if we are going to allocate $20 million from less critical capital projects. As Members are aware, we are in need of funding to try to enhance our existing programs. We are in a financial restraint period, Mr. Chairman, and I do not believe this will supplement the restraint that we are in. I am having problems with this motion, Mr. Chairman. I do not think I can support it. If I do not support it then I may abstain from voting on this motion.
