Thank you, Madam Chair. I know that the Housing Corporation has been having lots of problems delivering programs to the regions. I know that this is one of the ways that they want to address it. I know they have been asking for positions time and time again and there is just no support for it then. But now that the federal government is contributing some $50 million and we have a chance to get housing on the move beginning immediately, I am going to vote against this motion.
Often when I am travelling to the regions and communities and talking about their frustrations about getting their housing delivered, like Fort Liard, this is the third year that housing has not been delivered and a lot of the problems are because of a backlog and administration. This is one of the ways they are going to address it. They did hire a new president that I hope will be on the ground and getting out into the communities really quickly, and get out there with his new eyes and address all our housing strategy needs in the different regions and communities. It's because the corporation had no eyes for a little bit that I believe nothing was happening. Just overall, Madam Chair, my gut feeling is telling me it's not helpful to be deleting these positions, especially when it comes to housing. With that, I will be voting against this motion. Thank you.
