That is my interpretation too. A terrible law was brought in under the previous Government to the effect that HAP was the only game in town and that one was considered adequately housed under it. We have been there before. Mr. John McCarthy does not have to disagree with me but that was the legislation brought in. HAP is the only game in town. We asked repeatedly what would happen when these applicants went into HAP and were told they were taken off the housing waiting list. Is that correct? They are taken off the housing waiting list.
