Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When a client or an MLA, for example, identifies with us Housing Corporation clients who are having problems, we do take these concerns seriously and on a case-by-case basis deal with these clients individually. We have many examples of clients who have concerns that are brought forward by MLAs to myself. We, in turn, send the Housing Corporation staff to the communities to work with these individuals. This currently is the way we operate in many cases. The other emerging area is in the area related to community empowerment where we pass more of the authority of giving communities and local housing associations the ability to administer our housing programs and, in doing that, training local people to deal with clients and finding solutions. There are possibilities in that area, but in general, we do it on a case-by-case basis. We have identified the fact that there has not been enough done in followups, in some cases, and I appreciate the Member bringing it to me personally. We are trying to deal with that issue. Thank you.
