Thank you.
One metric that is in your program is the national housing co-investment strategy, which deals with this issue of what is an affordable place to rent. I think, if I read the program correctly, it's trying to help low-income people find accommodation that is 20% or less of their income.
When I look at the Auditor General's analysis on page 22 of the report, it has a nice graphic here and it also has a chart that basically shows that not a single province is delivering housing that's below 20% of costs.
In my province, Nova Scotia, the low-income average set out by the Auditor General is a little over $22,000. The way it works out in this formula, for it to be below 20%, rent would have to be $560 a month. I can tell you that in the largest town in my riding, Bridgewater, if you can find a place, a one-bedroom apartment in that town, above a pizza shop on the main street, it would be about $1,200 a month.
While you're spending the money, I'm not seeing the evidence that it's actually helping people with low income. In fact, the Auditor General says it isn't. Basically, it's not helping those in that critical low-income area. It may be helping people with a little bit higher income who can afford some of these apartments, but it's not helping those who have lower income.
I wonder if you could comment, just quickly, on that part of it.
