Mr. Chairman, the Power Corporation being a corporation of this government, I am just referring to the fact that under the new access to housing program which this government is delivering we do not get caught up with so much power and utility bills that eventually this individual might have to return his house after five years as a result of all these utility factors. If this program is to succeed, there has to be some breaks allowed for those people who are going to access that housing program. That is all I am referring to. It is a good initiative on the part of the government that they have 1,000 applications, but at the end of five years 800 may have to return their houses because they cannot afford to keep them. I wonder if there is a safeguard for those people so this government ensures those individuals would own those units in five years.
