Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am going to share my time with my colleague, Mr. Longfield.
Ms. Charette, gentlemen, welcome, Thank you for being here.
I am going to spend a little time on the expenses in the form of votes to be adopted for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, or ACOA.
The vote allocates $8.3 million for affordable housing and social infrastructure as part of a horizontal initiative announced in budget 2016.
I do not want to repeat the question that my colleague Chandra Arya asked, but how do you explain the agency's specific role in the area of affordable housing and social infrastructure? What are the parameters that will allow access to that funding?
