Mr. Speaker, we now have almost 6000 public housing units. I believe the number is around 5800. In the last few years, through the Housing Corporation programs, we built about 1,200 new houses, which have freed up probably half of that number. I would qualify that by saying that I would need to check those numbers. Of the additional 1400, 40 new houses we will build in the next three years, I would hope that would free up half of that number again to be used by those in more need.
