Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I understand what the Member is saying, but, I would come back to what I said earlier in response to Mr. Erasmus and that is that is it fair to tie the groups together? In the case of a 25 year old house, it is going to be difficult to find somebody who can afford to operate it. That would be my first thought. There is a need for social housing and if we have some units that we can turn over to it, we should. I know it may not seem fair that we cannot do it in every community, but if we have some available it would seem prudent to do that. In terms of the overall policy question, I would have to defer that to the Minister for the Housing Corporation.
