With regard to page 8-14, program delivery, staff and the community housing authority, there was a question raised in the House about the financial accountability of housing authorities. Does this government have a program to assist communities ensuring that the accountability question is being maintained through audits or some means of ensuring that the community housing authorities are financially responsible or financially sound, so we do not have situations?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Housing Corporation has several processes in place to assist our local housing organizations. There is ongoing financial support and assistance provided by our district offices on an ongoing basis. We also have financial year-end audits completed at the local housing organizations by external audit teams that go into those communities. We also get quarterly reporting provided from each LHO so we can monitor their financial operations. We have also done several operational audits in this last fiscal year to identify areas where training is required and strengths and weaknesses that we need to look at so we can provide additional support. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the audits, is that a thorough audit that includes all local housing authorities or do you just pick one or two? Is this going to be an across the board audit of all the local housing authorities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes the corporation gets financial audits completed of all of our local housing organizations on an annual basis, and it goes back to the existence of our public housing program. Thank you.
