Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank the Minister of the Housing Corporation and the Minister of ECE for that.

What I want to try to get across -- and I have said this before and I will say it again today -- is that the $1.3 million, it was quite some time ago we turned down a request for money through supplementary appropriation that would have done this. Now the funding is coming from the Housing Corporation. I can understand and appreciate why that is happening but, Madam Chair, I think the bigger question is how is this going to be funded on an ongoing basis? How are these ongoing positions going to be funded on an ongoing basis? You go to the Housing Corporation this year, take the money from the Housing Corporation. What about next year and the year after?

That gets back, Madam Chair, to the feeling that I have that this hasn't been thought through, or hasn't been planned or coordinated enough to use the resources that the government has to the best of their ability. This is just an example of a duplication, I believe, of money and of time and of effort. I can't really see it any other way; aside from the fact that it is $1.3 million to get something done that was already being done. Yes, we have a lot of needs in our communities, housing being a particular real need in many of our communities. Here we are, as a government, spending another $1.3 million when I don't really believe we need to be doing that. How are we going to fund this on an ongoing basis? Where are we going to get the money? Next year we are going to go back to the Housing Corporation and take $1.3 million; actually, it will be three percent more, $1.4 million, $1.5 million. How is this going to be funded on an ongoing basis, Madam Chair? Thank you.
