Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister responsible for housing.
The budget announcement that $100 million over the next two years will be available to improve the housing of low income Canadians is being well received, particularly in rural Canada. Reinstating RRAP will create jobs and improve living conditions for low income Canadians.
Could the minister advise the House when the funds will be made available? What interest has there been from the provinces and territories to become partners in this program?
