Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, in regard to the EDAP program, it's an application-based program. It includes information that is needed to determine the eligibility of the client, but also to ensure that the information that is provided is accurate and also realizing we are only one party to this arrangement. The other component is the bank. You have to also meet the requirements of the bank to be able to access not only EDAP money, but also bank financing to be able to obtain a mortgage.
The whole idea of being approved or disapproved all depends on the application itself. If the application is approved and, to use as an example, we run out of money, until dollars have been approved through this House, those applications are set on a priority list for those people who have been pre-approved, so the following year when dollar allocation is made, those applications that have been pre-approved and are in the system will be approved with new dollars coming forward.
In the case of Yellowknife; Yellowknife has had dollars left over in the past, so I am not too clear on exactly why this person was refused. Unless I know more particulars on the case itself and who we are talking about and what was the reason for the refusal; I would maybe suggest to the Member that we will talk about it later, or we talk to the president and see exactly what the reason for the application being refused was or not continuing the process of ongoing approvals. Thank you.
