Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the minister of public works I took part in a special ceremony last week in the historic French community of Maillardville, B.C.
Working with various local groups such as the Village Seniors Equity Co-operative and the city of Coquitlam, CMHC helped make this 32-unit housing project, known as the Castle of Gold, become a reality for local francophone seniors.
Thanks to a partnership between the federal government and private agencies, the increasing needs of our seniors are being addressed. It is another good example of the government working to enhance the lives of Canadians.
