Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have just a quick question on this page. I am wondering if the Housing Corporation and the government has given any thought to trying to take the Housing Corporation a little bit further away from government, a little bit more arm’s length. I have been thinking about this because housing is political. It is a political beast and constituents come to their MLAs and they want MLAs to intervene on their behalf whether it is arrears or other issues related to housing. I have given this some thought. It seems to me if you take the Housing Corporation as it is today and put it a little bit further away, would we be able to collect more arrears? Would we be able to address things without the political intervention that takes place? Whether we like it or not, it does happen. I’m not sure if the corporation itself has done any work at looking at maybe different models or ways in which it could operate under a different set of circumstances than currently exists today. That is the question I have, Mr. Chairman.
