Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am in agreement with the Minister, but it's in terms of percentages. I am proposing to the Minister today let's phase it up from 60 percent to 75 percent of the rent scale and then we both agree at the same time, as well, Mr. Speaker, that it's 100 percent for the second year. It's just the first year of how we are getting there. I am proposing it to be at 75 percent because what we are having here is we are going to create a sector of people who aren't in arrears and getting them into arrears and further complicating their opportunity to get a house when it's their turn, or to apply for other housing programs. I would like to know how the Minister will be addressing this concern of our current tenants getting into further arrears. Thank you.
