Thank you, Madam Chair. I think there is strong support in this room and in this Assembly to give more money for housing. However, I do have some concerns about the current structure of the Housing Corporation and the way it operates. I don't want to just throw money at it if it does not ultimately put more houses on the ground and for the best bang for our buck. I have concerns about the lack of democratic oversight of the Housing Corporation.

I am looking at a budget here I do not get to vote on. I don't even have an ability to put money in this budget. There is one Minister, and then there is a president. There is no board. We got rid of the board. The amount of interest in housing, it just does not have the proper structure set up. When I look at BC, Ontario, Nova Scotia, it's the "Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing," municipal affairs and housing. You happen to be the Minister of municipal affairs. I believe there needs to be a department set up who is responsible for the Housing Corporation. Is the Minister willing to move the Housing Corporation into municipal affairs?
