Thank you.
I agree with you that housing is the key to helping people who are living in poverty. I've spent a lot of time going across the country. I've been in the downtown east side and north Regina and, really, right across the country. I've been Saint John recently, and I was in Portland, Oregon, by the way, looking at what they're doing down there and seeing what has made them as successful as they've been. I agree that housing is a start. We are reviewing a lot of these programs right now because, again, I think we owe it to taxpayers but certainly to vulnerable Canadians to make sure the programs are actually achieving the ends they were intended to achieve.
In some cases, I think we can point to examples where the funding has not even been utilized under the affordable housing initiative, and in other cases some of this funding can't be utilized because there's already a big housing stock and they'd rather have other kinds of support. I'd be happy to talk to you about that, but I'm conscious of time.
Therefore, I do think we have to review these things to make sure they will address the problems both today and going forward.
