Three years ago we were getting the $49 million for the year from the federal government and now we don't have that money from the social housing program. We are getting funding for that from within the existing pot. Yet, the PYs remain the same. We seem to have streamlined the program, we are getting less houses, yet the PYs remain the same. Has the department ever looked at that? We are trying to see where we can save money so we can build more houses. You have a lot of PYs there, the figure has remained the same. If we could cut that figure down, maybe we could see more special units built in places like Iqaluit.
