Absolutely, we’d be pleased to work with the Member. We make a commitment to share the information of investment that’s going to be made as a result of the new agreements with the federal government on the Northern Housing Trust. There are certainly conditions that we would have to keep in mind. Of course, first of all, as I mentioned before, we need to ensure that these houses are independent units; houses for seniors that can look after themselves. We also are not in a position to add to our public housing stock, so we do not have any operating dollars as of yet. That’s our next political challenge, to have those discussions with the federal government. I would be pleased to work with the Member and I’ve already committed I’ll share the information to him and the rest of our colleagues across the way here to ensure that they’re completely aware of the dollars that are being spent in their riding and their communities.
