On the commitment to deal with the housing crisis, I remind the Deputy that the Cabinet made a decision today to support people to stay in their homes at a cost of €12 million this year and €50 million in a full year. This commitment made in the programme for Government is being delivered on today. This is very important. We have a priority focus on putting more resources into housing to deal with the housing crisis. This is being done as we speak, as the Deputy knows, in terms of the ongoing commitment.

In regard to the negotiations with Canada, they are ongoing and have not been concluded. I have outlined the position with regard to water.
