Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can someone explain to me why there was a decline in funding for the Housing Corporation between the capital estimates for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. My understanding is the Housing Corporation keeps a pretty detailed list of the planning of all of their assets around what the timing is around major retrofits, as well as replacements, and I suspect the issue here is really around the timing of when some of the replacements were needed, versus retrofits. So there has typically been some variation on an annual basis. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
