Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member says, there are over 60 people in one of her communities -- and I don't know which community she is talking about -- on a waiting list and that is one of the justifications for increasing rents in the communities. There are people in the communities who can afford to operate and maintain their own homes. The Housing Corporation has many different programs and public housing is one of the programs. Public housing is designed for low-income people, people with very little income. If people have small incomes then they will pay very little rent. We are encouraging those people who can afford to own their own homes to get into their own homes to free up space for those 60 people on the waiting list. Thank you.
