I guess I’ll have to ask the Minister if he can commit to provide me with that information since he hasn’t mentioned what that is. One of the things that happened during the building of Bailey House was that the units were designed to a certain size and the Housing Corporation came along and said that they needed to be larger. By making those units larger, that increased the cost of running that facility. It led them to the situation where they are right now, where their revenues don’t meet their expenses. The tenants at Bailey House can’t afford any more than the $800 or $900 that they’re being charged at the moment. I’d like to know, in terms of that situation, where the Housing Corporation requires units to be larger and, therefore, more expensive than what the building is originally designed for, what will the Housing Corporation do to help the people operating the transitional housing to have their revenue meet their expenses. Thank you.
