Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just in regard to some brief opening comments. I just picked up the Ministers' reply to the chair of the Social Programs Committee with the information we requested. I have been trying to find an opportunity to go over that. I am not sure whether my colleagues, in fact, have seen it. There may be some information in there that they will have to repeat if we have not had a chance to look at it.

I also have some questions when it is under the appropriate activity in regard to the Housing 2000 Program. Specifically, information on how many people are in the program that, in fact, can actually have the financial capability of maintaining a mortgage and all the other attendant costs that go with home ownership.

I would also like to ask, at the appropriate time, about any further work that has been done on looking at moving some of the regional positions at various district offices, that has been up before the committee a number of times, and putting them in the communities where their services are required. As well, I would like to get a little update on the mortgage insurance. I noticed you have covered in your letter to the committee, but maybe you would speak a bit more of that under the appropriate heading, as well? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
