I would also like to say that my constituents and I are very pleased with the way that the Housing Corporation has been doing their business. They have taken proactive steps to ensure that local markets get their fair share of construction, labour, purchase of supplies, and whatever they need to operate. It's been beneficial in the region where I'm from. Also, the concept of negotiated contracts is still one that I support to a certain extent and that, too, has been beneficial because it provides developing companies opportunities to have two and three-year training programs, to work in their premises and tie in with other government programs. This has been very successful so far.
The whole issue of being able to have a group of people in a community assess applicants for new houses has also been successful; especially this year, where everybody was involved who indicated an interest. The whole process came off this year without any glitches, or I haven't heard any. But everybody was quite pleased with the response that we had in trying to ensure that everybody participated in selecting the candidates for new houses. I wanted to thank the Minister and his staff, not only here but in the region, for their cooperation. I know I get full cooperation from the regional staff when issues come up and then they are dealt with quite expeditiously. I would like to say mahsi cho. Thank you.
