Thank you, Mr. Chair. And vice-president may be able to add some specific numbers to what I'm going to explain. But the money that we're using to pay for leases basically is equivalent to what we're paying for operating for a public housing unit that we would own. The numbers may be slightly off but it's the same money that we're talking about. So if we let go of a lease, we'll be using for that money to pay for the public housing unit we put the client into. So it's the same money right now being -- it's either paying for a lease or it's paying operating costs for a public housing unit. So there isn't -- getting out of one doesn't give us more money to spend on more units, I guess. The only net impact if we have our own units, then the public units that are out there are available to other clients outside and maybe Canada housing benefit clients or other programs, but they wouldn't be, you know, under a public housing lease per se. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
