Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We do in fact subsidize residential properties and I understand a great deal of them in Mr. Picco's constituency. We do in fact subsidize jobs for people in Mr. O'Brien's riding and my riding where people are jobless and looking for jobs. So that is the policy of this government and it will be maintained as long as I am in the chair as Chairman of the Financial Management Board and until such time as we think otherwise. On the issue of the overall subsidies, we are going to look at that recommendation as we have looked at others and as I said in the previous answer to his question, we will respond in a timely manner to the auditor general with respect to the recommendations he makes and which ones we intend to incorporate. Thank you.
