We have several programs that assist Canadian households. More specifically, the Insured Mortgage Purchase Program has helped households secure a mortgage. Our primary goal is to make sure that banks have access to credit, so that they in turn, can pass it along to Canadian households and businesses. Under the budget, the government has included complementary measures for banks, such as the facility we have just talked about, that can specifically help households buy a car.
