In discussions with the Minister and his officials, Members were interested to hear that in addition to the rent-supplement leases administered by the corporation, there were many more that were administered by the local housing authority. Members of the committee are concerned that because of these flow-through funding arrangements, the committee has no sense of the amount of money and the number of housing units that are truly under the rent-supplement program.

Members are also concerned about how loan guarantees are being made by the Housing Corporation. The committee has not been provided with a listing of the loan guarantees that have been provided by the Housing Corporation to private developers and aboriginal development corporations.
