Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am sorry for confusing the Member, but what we are presently doing now, because we are looking at the mandate of the corporation, we are looking at our programs and services. One of the things we are doing is we are trying to ensure...Right now the programs we have are application-based. It is based on the number of applications that you'd get. Out of that, we determine allocation. So what we are trying to do is work with communities to determine how many clients they have in their homes that need these programs, and work with those people at the community level to implement those programs through the Universal Partnership Agreement. The Universal Partnership Agreement is something new, but the whole idea, at the end of the day, is to empower communities to let them take on more responsibility for housing, which doesn't just include managing our units, it also includes delivering programs by way of our programs that we deliver right now at headquarters. That is where we are working at and where we are going to improve programs and services to communities, and the way the process works right now is application-based. It goes to the regional offices, then the regional office determines allocation. Then they go back to the communities. Then they go back to the regional office. So we are trying to cut down that long, drawn-out process and simplifying it to make it easier for communities. That is the direction we are going.
