Mr. Speaker, first of all I am pleased to announce that five provinces and two territories have already signed agreements to transfer the administration of social housing.
This new agreement contains a specific clause that protects the existing agreement. Therefore all the existing agreements will be protected in this agreement.
The hon. member knows that 50% of the co-op housing in Ontario is administered and financed by the province. Therefore it is a system that needs to be discussed in order to avoid duplication.
