Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my last one will be a comment on my last question, but I wanted to ask the Minister here in terms of the units we have now available for our people that are through the rental units and some of these rental units, some of the owners have, and I think the Minister made some comments at least to ourselves as a committee that these units could be sold to people who have lived in them for 20 or 25 years and they may have some difficulty. I think the Minister has alluded to some of the new programs that may help alleviate some of these issues to have renters become homeowners. I think that's very wise. I think it's a real good move to start having people now take responsibility for their homes and to start taking the ownership of these homes now and not have this dependency be so strong. So I think the Minister has a tough job ahead of him in terms of how do we uncreate that dependency? We have an interdependency in terms of homeownership. So I think he's going to have a challenging time to have these units...They should be only for people that really need them like the elderly people, people who are disabled. But people that could own their home should really own their homes now. We have to create that sense of independence of ownership for these homeowners, because right now we have too many people dependent on units. So I just want to leave that with the Minister. I don't know if there's a question there, Mr. Chair, I know my time is up. So I wanted to leave that for him. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
