Mr. Chairman, the district offices that deliver these programs to our communities through the local housing authorities, they have the staff members, maintenance people. Is it something within the mandate and the plans for this government to look at ways that they could improve the efficiencies of these maintenance workers in the communities? That is probably one of my biggest complaints, is that the public housing units or the private housing units -- I know that is under a different program -- should be looked at because of the conditions they are in. The amount of workers, given the budgets that the LHOs have, the amount of hours they have per day, especially when it gets to minus 45 or minus 50 below, when the phones really start ringing and because of the location of the houses or the situation, is that something that this Minister is looking at in terms of how we improve the maintenance in our communities, especially with the elderly people? Thank you.
