Mr. Speaker, again I will answer the question by stating that the flat rent scale would apply undue hardship to our seniors and our single people, and the people on our low rent scale. That is what I indicated in the letter, and that is the reason we haven't moved forward with this whole concept. To us it is, of course, a very attractive concept. It is a way for us to look at bringing more revenue because it would increase the rent scales and it would bring more revenue to the Housing Corporation, but at this point we are not moving forward on it. We have put that on the back burner for the time being. It is an option that we can look at some time in the near future, but at this point we are not. Thank you.
