Human Resources committee  We have signed agreements with all 13 provinces and territories. All of the supplemental agreements for the flowing of the dollars through our provincial partners have been signed. There are a variety of ways. The doubling of the investment in affordable housing is intended to serve folks who are on or are eligible to be on social housing waiting lists.

Human Resources committee  In order to ensure that the funding in budget 2016 for seniors could flow quickly and get to where it was needed in a timely manner, that was done through existing agreements we had with provinces and territories. The provinces and territories have the responsibility to design and to deliver the programs.

Human Resources committee  As I said, it's the provinces and the territories that are designing and delivering, and they are the ones working directly with the groups in terms of the seniors housing to construct or renovate housing that's on the ground. Our provincial partners may choose to use some of the funding, particularly the doubling of the investment in affordable housing, for rent supplements or rent allowances.

Human Resources committee  As you say, we've been given the money up until 2018, and this was given for the short term, between 2016 and 2018 and the national housing strategy, so we look forward to the national housing strategy to provide further direction.

Human Resources committee  We also work with groups that are expiring. At our affordable housing centre, we have folks on the ground who go out and work with groups that are approaching their expiry to try to help them work toward sustainability after the agreement. We try to develop financial plans and work with them on sustainable models through which they can thrive after the end of their agreements.
