“I just want to point out, this is not a zero-sum game. There is nothing about the single-home market that is going to be impacted by this. There is nothing about the higher cost that is going to be impacted. This is just allowing this program to function in all quarters of the housing market and to take into accommodation the things that my colleague says, things like bigger buildings have very often higher costs. As I said, this has an outstanding delinquency rate of 0.3 percent. If every housing program and every housing guarantee program, despite the very difficult downturn, had such a small delinquency rate as this, then I think we would all be very happy with it. So increasing these limits I don't believe would have any deleterious effect. I urge a ``yes'' vote.”
