Thank you, Madam Chair. The Minister talks about upgrading the rental stocks in the communities through the local housing authorities. Some of the units are old. Some of the units have to be assessed quite a while in order to either upgrade them or tear them down or release them to community members who have lived in those units for sometime, up to 20 or 30 years. I take it there is a Supported Lease Program to facilitate such a process for these people taking over some homeownership. For example, if someone has been living there for the last 30 years, they go through the Supported Lease Program and they don't qualify for it, for whatever reason. They might have had a bad year and they just got all muddled up with their finances and had a rough time within a two-year lifetime and, for whatever reason, they don't make the cut, they would continue to stay in those units, I take it. This Supported Lease Program, is it offered only one time per unit per family or per person, or can they apply over and over again until somebody can demonstrate that they can take care of their housing or their finances? Thank you.
