Mr. Chairman, if that's all we're doing then why do we have in here, in the schedule, the words "for the purpose of renting out the units to the general public"? It sounds to me that the decision has already been made about how the process works. This may be the right thing to do. I can't say it is or isn't because it's never been presented to me the arguments for why this is happening. I'm not trying to enter into that argument right now.

My point is that this is a change in the operations of the Housing Corporation. It may be good, but I don't know at this point in time because it's never been presented to me. My point is, I've been involved in the Assembly for 12 years and I don't recall the Housing Corporation undertaking this kind of operation. So if it's new, I would think that it would be something that would be presented to the Members of the Legislative Assembly.

Now, it could be presented to us with all sorts of fan fare as the best program since sliced bread, but it shouldn't be presented to us through the back door in a supplementary. It should be coming to us up front to discuss the policy. That, Mr. Chairman, is my point here. Not whether it's a good program or a bad program. The fact is I'm offended that we're hearing about it for the first time in a supplementary appropriation.
