Mr. Speaker, the objective was to get ourselves out of the housing business. We felt we could do it now in the three communities of Yellowknife, Fort Smith and Hay River. We felt we could do it with the particular units designated because government employees were already inside these units. We would only sell to the employees who are presently residing in the particular units. In this way, it does not disrupt the present housing market. If those particular employees choose not to buy the units, life will go on as is for a few more months. As I said, our long-term housing strategy, which we will provide in June, will hopefully address the course we take with regard to dealing with these units at that time. Thank you.
