Thank
you
honorable
speaker.
I
want
to
recognize
the
nanaimo,
affordable,
housing
society
for
all
the
important
work
that
they
do
bringing
to
market
and
managing
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
Earlier
this
week
I
spoke
with
andrea
blakeman,
the
ceo
of
this
society.
She
shared
with
me
a
story
of
a
woman
who
came
into
their
office
recently.
A
Mr
speaker,
at
73
years
old,
this
woman
couldn't
sell
her
car
because
for
the
last
year
and
a
year
and
a
half,
this
car
was
where
she
lived.
It
was
her
home
and
sadly,
this
story
is
not
unique
in
our
community,
but
what
we
are
seeing
in
our
community
is
that
this
society
and
other
incredible
groups
working
in
partnership
with
all
levels
of
government,
collaborating
on
affordable
housing
solutions
and
helping
make
sure
that
people
have
access
to
quality
housing
that
they
deserve.
A
The
work
that
this
society
does
reminds
me
that,
no
matter
how
difficult
the
challenge
is,
when
we
work
together,
we
can
accomplish
great
things
and
we
can
make
life
better
for
all
the
people
in
our
community,
including
those
that
need
a
little
extra
support
with
the
house.
Please
join
with
me
in
congratulating
the
incredible
work
of
the
affordable
housing
society
and
for
all
that
they
have
done
bringing
affordable
housing
into
our
community.
