Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister talked about and I quote "many homes over crowded" if he could put some numbers to that it may help me understand the situation a little better and too many of these homes are over crowded, the number of family members in them. Following on, I believe it is fair to say that you pay a premium in construction for constructing single family homes. Has the Housing Corporation looked at building apartment units even in the smaller communities where the Minister has identified as needing accommodation? If he has, what is the savings that could be realized? I mean, we realize we are short of financial resources to deal with the housing requirements that the Minister through the corporation have identified. So what consideration have they given to building apartments to assist. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
