Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true that in most areas we have far more applicants than those that we can provide assistance to, especially this first year. For example, in the Member's constituency where we have more than 60 applicants we can provide assistance to just a bit more of a quarter of that. So we have had to prioritize who we approve. The first applicant that we will approve are families in public housing, immediately after that are couples in public housing. We will also put on top of the list families in poor need with suitability or adequacy problems, and so on. There are seven criteria in the priority list, which I will be pleased to provide the Member in more detail.
