Mr. Ellis:
Mr. Chairman, would the minister care to give us his opinion as to why lending by private lenders has fallen off in the past year, thus necessitating an increase in direct lending by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation? Why have conventional lenders not provided the mortgage money?

Is it because they feel the interest rate is too low? Would the minister venture an opinion on that?
