Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said in my response to Mr. Ramsay, the promise that was made publicly and in this House was that when the subsidy program for public housing, which includes the subsidy for seniors in public housing, when that was transferred or responsibility for that program was transferred from the Housing Corporation to Education, Culture and Employment it would be taken over with no change in the policy. At this point there is no change. We are examining all of our income security programs and all of our subsidy programs that are administered by Education, Culture and Employment and I expect that we will be proposing some changes to those programs in the course of the next six months or so. But those proposed changes won't be sprung on anybody. There will be an appropriate period of notice and it will only be done after consultation with Members in this House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
