Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it's important to realize that the funding we do get is given based on a priority basis. It's based on the applications that require this EDAP. The key is, if we approve it, the bank has to approve it also. In most cases, that's where they're turned down, once they get to the bank. Again, an application that's put in in January, if they feel they want to come back and renew their application or their circumstances change where they have acquired a full-time job compared to before when they had a part-time job, they can come back in and continue to process applications. It doesn't have to be one application a year. Again, it's based on priorities and having the resources for this program. I think it's important that we encourage people to get into homeownership. I think that's probably the most positive thing an individual can do, is become a homeowner while also realizing that with that comes independence. I think you want more people to be homeowners. With the program dollars we do have, we're open to applications from people coming in the spring or fall or winter. It's based on priority listing and as long as the resources are there to provide assistance to this program.
