Yes, if I can speak on behalf of my absent colleague. Basically, at the time this statement was made, I think some Members were a little curious as to some of the discussions surrounding federal funding for housing; we were aware that the Minister responsible had gone to Ottawa by his noticeable absence during those two days, and the Government Leader had announced that the Minister would be down there. I guess we were hoping for more detail on the results of the meetings, but the statement indicates that talks are still ongoing, and we are waiting for the federal Cabinet or the federal Minister's favourable response to our government's proposals on federal housing. I would ask the Minister responsible, are these discussions ongoing? Can the Minister give some indication as to when he expects to see the final results? Will we got 35,000 units eventually, according to the housing plans?
I guess that is a question to the Minister. I know these are negotiations, and I do not expect the Minister to put all his cards on the table in this forum until a lot of these negotiations are done, but maybe the Minister can indicate to us when he is planning further meetings, and when does he expect this to be finalized?
