In the 2005-2008 business plans, there was a decision made to consolidate housing programs into the programs that my colleague Mr. Krutko just mentioned.

We have been working for over a year now to implement these, and we have had, for example, the first meeting in almost living memory in the Housing Corporation of the managers and the chairs of the LHOs that came to town to sit down and talk about a number of things, one of them being the housing programs that were currently being delivered.

I will make in this House the commitment to Members and the Social Programs Committee that if there is an interest in talking about the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs and any suggestions for improvement, we're willing to look at that. As well, I will be travelling across the North to the communities to talk to people and the LHOs about the issues in their communities, specifically these programs.

We have just undertaken an important reorganization in the Housing Corporation that's going to provide better service to the regions, the districts, the LHOs and the communities, and that, hopefully, will allow for a better flow of information both ways and support to the communities.
