Mr. Speaker, I’d like to thank the Minister for that, because I think we do have to make those steps to ensure that communities and residents of those communities do take on the responsibility of housing but, more importantly, deliver locally to the residents.
Mr. Speaker, one of the areas that we seem to have a real gap with is the seniors’ maintenance repair program. That is there to assist seniors to maintain their homes, to be able to keep seniors in their homes longer in regard to maintaining their furnaces and problems that they had by way of maintenance. So I’d just like to ask the Minister: is there anyone looking at how seniors are responding to this program specifically? I know previously we worked with the seniors’ society to work on that particular matter. I know that it is a concern with a lot of seniors in my riding. So I’d just like to ask the Minister: have you been looking at the seniors’ response to this program?
