I think an interesting confusion is created by the way that appears in the estimates documents, because the regional development agencies are not doing anything in affordable housing, per se. It's part of a much larger social infrastructure package of funding that was provided in budget 2016. There's a portion of that funding that is for recreational and cultural infrastructure, and it is that funding that is being provided to all of the regional development agencies for projects related to cultural and recreational infrastructure. They'll be doing things like making improvements to arenas, and working on parks and municipal facilities and roof replacements, a range of things that are eligible under the program. But the line in the estimates that puts it with social infrastructure and affordable housing is a bit misleading because it's not for social housing.
