Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So while we have been waiting, fiddling as Rome burnt for the last seven years waiting for a housing strategy to replace the federal money, according to the timeframe that the Minister just gave us, we are running up into a situation now where we have got like as some of the Members talked about, people staying in matchbox houses. My question to the Minister is, if we can find $60 million to finance Internet, and fibre optics, why can we not find $60 million to building some social housing for the people?
