Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her important question.
I had a meeting with ministers of housing across the country. We discussed their concerns as they relate to social housing. However I remind the hon. member that social housing is not only the jurisdiction of the Government of Canada but also provincial governments, municipalities and other stakeholders.
We are providing $100 million over a two-year period under RRAP to provide some needed assistance for low income Canadians. We have fiscal restraint and fiscal measures with which we have to deal, along with provincial governments and municipalities. Within that framework, we will try to arrive at some moneys.
I do not want to mislead the hon. member into thinking that large sums of money are readily available to go to the issue that she raises here today.
