Mr. Speaker, the fine work of Habitat for Humanity is known around the world. This is a group which works to provide affordable houses. It encourages future homeowners to invest sweat as well as financial equity in their new homes.
I am pleased that Habitat for Humanity is now active in Peterborough building homes. The first will be for a low income family of six. I want to thank all those involved in this project, those who initiated it, those organizations and individuals who provided support in kind and in cash, and all those who volunteered their time to build the new house. All of them deserve our thanks and congratulations.
Affordable housing is a serious problem in many of our communities. Habitat is one solution for this.
