Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are reinvestment plans. We look at that, and it is up to $2 million to look at any needs that are given in the regions, and we also do look at exceptional proposals. We do work very closely with our LHOs and with our district offices. As all Members know, housing is a big concern here, and our Housing Corporation does have a strong communication with the LHOs and through our district offices, as well.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am thinking that the Member is talking about the user pay program that we have started up. Really, it is focusing on responsibility and self-reliance. We have seen a decrease in the amount of dollars that we have been putting into this subsidized program. Even though we are slow subsidizing it, there was better energy efficiency, and those savings that we have had have gone back into other programming. Maybe to go through a bit more further detail, I will ask, through you, Mr. Chair, the president and CEO to just give a little bit more of an update. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are still focused on targeting for the 50, and, if we do exceed that, we will make sure that Members are aware of what those disposal rates are. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we do look at it on a yearly basis, and we are working with our LHOs, but something that we really focus and are committed on is that, as we develop this plan, we do get with the community housing plans, as well, and that we get feedback from community membership and community leadership on how that is reinvested. With these community housing plans, they are going to be a game-changer in terms of what our priorities are in our communities and moving forward on that. It is done yearly. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Restate the page? Maybe a little bit more clarification from the Member. Some of the detail might be from some of the back-and-forth on the questions, but we could definitely provide the information that the Member was asking for. We are going through the budget process. Maybe a little bit more clarification, Mr. Chair, in terms of what restating of the page she wants? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we have. We have met the disposal rates. We've actually exceeded them. From my understanding, it's 162 disposable units that we met this year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When I did answer questions on the 2,400 public housing units, the 2,800 rental housing units also include market and HELP units. Some communities, we will obviously provide market units and HELP units, but, specific to the former Member's questions, the reference to 2,400 was our public housing units. Thank you.

. Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I agree with everything the Member has mentioned. In terms of apprentices, definitely, we need to do that. On the other side, we are looking at working with homeowners through our LHOs and through our technical and maintenance staff to address some of the maintenance shortfalls that some of the contractors might not take in some of the communities. In terms of being landlords, we need to start those discussions, and I think those discussions will need to be started at this Northern Housing Summit. It's got to start at some point. You know, regardless of if any of...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We will definitely make that commitment.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That needs survey will be available this summer and, going obviously into the transition and the new government, it is something that we will definitely take a look at. Thank you.
