Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If it is our own corporation's rental units, they will have some units that do not have escape systems that are appropriate. I am quite prepared to have the corporation go and assess those houses and ensure if a design of a house does not allow us to put a full door in, to ensure there is a proper escape system in social housing. In terms of private housing, it is either owned by individuals or rented. We do have programs available that allow us to go in and make repairs and that type of thing depending on the extent of the work involved. I do not believe there is a law that says you have to have two doors, although I think there is something in the building code that says you have to have a means of escape, certainly from a second storey situation. I will check that out.
