Thank you very much.

Now I'd like to talk about the Housing Act. I refer you to page 192. More than $210 million has been authorized for advances under the National Housing Act. It appears these funds have not been used.

Are we to understand that these amounts were intended for tax deductions for aboriginal housing?
