Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this is part of the targeted area that we wanted to improve. As I mentioned earlier, we want to ensure that our clients and tenants are fully aware of what they would have to be responsible for if they are tenants in our units or entering the homeownership programs. We are planning to upgrade the skills of our staff and ensure that the upfront discussions are clear and understood by the people that are making the requests. The seniors' program is something that has been in place for a few years now. The seniors have to come to us to request the program. We then can advise them as to all the responsibilities. We do have after care for these people. Again, that's something we want to make sure they're aware of. We have maintenance programs they can access to assist them. We have seniors' programs that they could qualify for and failing that, if it's a real emergency, we have emergency programs that they also can access. We have a number of programs. In fact, we have I believe 24 programs out there targeted for different initiatives. Thank you.
