Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess while I have another chance on this page, I am going to say this once again. That is, I continue to be baffled at why the government is insistent upon us spending $1.3 million to carry out the Public Housing Subsidy Program when today it's already being delivered for what we are delivering it for. Now, because it's under ECE, we are going to have to spend an additional $1.3 million. Mr. Chairman, I can't put it any other way. It's quite wonky or quite, I'd say it's ill-conceived, however you want to put it, but something just does not add up for me. I try to think about what little money we have to go into housing and why we would rush out and spend another $1.3 million on a program and on the delivery of a program that is already being done is beyond me; really it is. I think there had to have been some more work or whatever to try to come up with a better way, a more cost-effective way of delivering this program. Obviously, there wasn't. Again, Mr. Chairman, I don't need a reply from the Minister. I have heard it all before. Again, I am not very happy with how this is laying itself out. I am disappointed in the fact that we have to spend $1.3 million more today than we did yesterday to deliver the same program. It makes no sense. Thank you.
