Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’d like to ask the Minister, when I brought up the seniors’ rent scale in my last set of questions, he indicated that there’s going to be a change soon and that seniors who are living in public housing are going to be now making application through income support and ECE and their income is going to be assessed. Is that what I should understand? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Going to my next point that I raised in my previous set, and that was emergency housing realities in view of six-month waiting periods. Now I think a lot of these obstacles I referred to earlier boil down to something, which it’s hard to integrate into government policies, and that’s common sense and some discretionary latitude for LHOs to use their own discretion to assess what is an emergency, what is a real need, what is something that needs to be responded to in terms of a housing need.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. My apologies to Mr. Krutko. I know how the bells got turned off now. My apologies for any insinuation. I want to tell the Members that, on the list right now, I only have two more Members who have already spoken on general comments. So if you want to get on the list and have priority over those who have already had a 10-minute slot, please put your hand up. Mr. Krutko.
