Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Of the $32 million the Minister mentioned in his opening statement, I would like to know how much of that is going towards the 112 units. I am getting the feeling that this is starting to sound like another subsidy program. It almost appears to me like a second tier public housing type deal. I want to know from the Minister how this is affecting, or if this is affecting, the other programs that the Housing Corporation runs. I am sure they had a program called the Independent Housing Program, which was almost along the same lines. It just seems like they are duplicating and creating a second tier of social housing. What is going to happen to these clients after the two years if they have proven that they can't look after the units? Do you bring another one in there for another two years? If they can't maintain the unit, will they bring another one in there for another two years? All we are doing is just subsidizing again every couple of years, just like public housing does now. There were a few questions in there and I would appreciate a response from the Minister. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
