Human Resources committee  No. I have not heard that either. That is new news, if in fact that is happening.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and members of the committee. On behalf of the over 12,000 members of Mortgage Professionals Canada, thank you for providing the opportunity to take part in the discussions today. My name is Elaine Taylor. I am vice-president of sales for MCAP Corporation and chair of the board of directors of Mortgage Professionals.

Finance committee  Thank you. The landscape presents many challenges for our lender and insurer members. Their products depend upon the ability of Canadians to manage their debt obligations smoothly. With a government order for businesses to close, many borrowers' ability to meet these obligations had been seriously impacted, due to their loss of income.

Finance committee  First, we thank the government for implementing an increase in the homebuyers' plan from $25,000 to $35,000 and, as of January of this year, for expanding the program to include those who have experienced a breakdown of a marriage or common-law partnership. This is a good change.
