Thank you, Madam Chair. At this time, I wish to first start off by saying a huge yahoo to the Housing Corporation for paragraph three when it comes to the eight barrier-free units for persons with disabilities. A
big congratulations to them actually hearing and responding to the need. It's certainly an area of significant interest. I spent a bit of time in this House and a serious amount of time talking to this Minister about this need and I certainly have to say that good work needs to be responded to with the appropriate praise. I certainly want to emphasize that the Housing Corporation is listening to the needs of the constituents and the people that we serve. A significant amount of applause goes your way in that manner, speaking strictly and directly to the barrier-free units for people with disabilities.
Madam Chair, I'd like to continue, although I have a lot of enthusiasm with that response. That was a big yahoo. A round of yahoos from everyone.
Madam Chair, I'd like to continue my questions in regard to the Expanded Downpayment Assistance Program and is my understanding that the Housing Corporation is still screening applications for the EDAP, although they do not have money in the present budget for clients. So people are having intakes of applications being screened and even being approved, but there's no money. Noting that we're talking about the new budget year, anyone who's applied for this type of money, been approved through that type of program and been acknowledged that they would be a good contender of the EDAP program, would their application carry over into the new fiscal year starting April 1st, even though we still approved them after all the money was expended. Thank you, Madam Chair.
