Thank you, Madam Chair. It still concerns me because 30 percent can be quite high. People who live in social housing, taking a street perspective, folks in social housing don't make a lot of money. They have heavy burdens and difficult circumstances or, as I say from a street perspective, they wouldn't be in social housing if they didn't have troubles with income and meeting basic obligations. That's why we have a social housing program. I still find this a difficult challenge of interpretation. I caution the Minister proceeding with this program until it's maybe thoroughly thought out or maybe expressed and articulated in a document to all Members of the House. I am uncomfortable with the thought that we have people on the higher end of the rent scale paying 30 percent. The way I see it you probably don't make very much money to be in social housing. I can't imagine a person who is even paying 30 percent in social housing being able to make a normal mortgage payment on top of that. That 30 percent, as I understand it, includes a lot of things to be in that house.
So when will the Minister have a detailed plan on how this will work? When will it come with some examples on the types of people that this will apply to? I am referring to brackets money-wise. I really don't want to see the Housing Corporation back these things, underwrite them, subsidize them and then we put people in a failing position where they have a difficult time making the mortgage payments and then what do we do? The loan gets called on the Housing Corporation and we end up with another Somba K'e Healing Centre, but what happens is we end up with another 450 of these things around the North.
So I really caution the Minister. It's ambitious. I do recognize it's a new initiative. I welcome out-of-the box thinking. I just want it thought out a little more and him to inspire us with his project. Long before he proceeds, I would like to see a formalized plan in front of the House to prove to all Members this isn't going to fail, because I don't want to see the Assembly straddled with another 450 mortgages. If we are looking at that potential trouble, let's just give the houses to the darn people and make sure that they aren't being put into positions or burdens over their head. Thank you, Madam Chair.
