Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a very brief statement. First of all, I want to give credit to the Minister and the special committee for dealing with an incredibly difficult issue. On one hand, the federal government is squeezing really hard and if we don't do something, there would be major penalties in the millions of dollars. On the other hand, people in the communities, quite legitimately, are concerned about how it will impact them.

There have been many Housing Ministers, including myself, who have tried to grapple with this problem. He is the first Minister who has successfully grappled with the problem and he and the Housing Corporation deserve a lot of credit. I think the special committee, who worked closely with the Minister, deserve a lot of credit. So even though the final deal may not be perfect, it is definitely the best arrangement possible at this time. I, for one, am very satisfied with the arrangement. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
