Mr. Chairman, that is an ongoing issue that we wrestle with. How do we keep the politics out of trying to deliver the units, the houses and the programs that are required in communities? We haven’t looked at trying to make it more arm’s length. I think that’s going to be very difficult at this point. But we have looked at trying to find solutions where our constituents are not running on a daily basis to the MLAs, so we are introducing more training and to our staff and in the communities. We are offering more communication so the people know what the programs are, know where the deadlines are going to be and what to expect. We are also introducing an appeals mechanism so that people that feel they were hard done by through an application or a program that they didn’t qualify for or for some reason whether they felt that somebody sat on the board and didn’t like them or was related to them, we could have an arm’s-length setup. Those things we are coming forward with this coming year.

As to having the Housing Corporation completely independent, I don’t know how that would work right now. I don’t have an answer for that because there are politicians from all walks of life that contact our offices for exemptions to programs for special recognition. I think it would be very difficult. Until we can find avenues where people are satisfied that they are being heard and have an independent system or analysis of their complaints, we are going to struggle with this issue.
