Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, like I mentioned, with the social funding going to Education, there has been a cut from the social funding we have received from the federal government. A large portion of those social cuts are in the area of the O and M for operation of social housing. So in order to replace those federal dollars, we are having to get units off stream, especially the old SHAG units we had in the past. Most of these units have outlived their usefulness and are going to be replaced with newer units. The majority of units that you see with regard to the budget that has been presented, 75 units will be there to replace social housing units. We are looking at constructing six or eight units and acquire that land that these units are sitting on. So we are already looking at that scenario with regard to the replacement of our social housing by way of the 75 units that are in the budget. Thank you.
