Thank you,
Mr. Chairman. I’ll just make a couple of comments. I’ll ask Mr. Polakoff if he could fill in with more detail.
Clearly, the issue of home repairs is an important one. But one of the struggles we have — and that’s why we have money in the budget for apprentices — is every community is struggling for an adequate number of tradesmen to actually get the work done.
We’re interested in, of course, sitting down, as I’ve indicated already. If there are ways that we can
further streamline or improve the process in terms of how programs are delivered, we’re prepared to do that.
I’ll ask Mr. Polakoff to speak in more detail about the money that was moved out of this home repair program and the corporation plan of how we’re going to carry on doing business.
