Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand the process that is currently in place, but that is not the point I am trying to make to the Minister. I don't think the Minister is getting my point. This is specifically in regards to people that want to get their homes repaired. The point I am trying to make, Mr. Speaker, is we don't have a program in place that is multiyear because of our limited number of funding at the community level. It is application-based, as the Minister indicates, but it is based on the assessment that has been undertaken at the individual client's house. It could be, in some cases, in the hundreds of thousands dollars for repair needs. What I am suggesting to the Minister is, because of our limited number of funds, can his department look at developing this multiyear program so that we can assess a larger number of clients at the community level? For instance, this individual with a $100,000 repair that is required doesn't have to take place in one year. It could be done over two years. That way, you are spreading the dollars to more clients. So that is my suggestion to the Minister. Would the Minister try to take a look at developing this type of program? Thank you.
