Without saying that you do not want to put all your eggs in the one basket, if we assume the worst scenario, just for arguments sake, what steps are we going to look at to continue to provide at least the same levels of public housing? What alternatives are we going to look at in terms of providing public housing units to the people across the Northwest Territories? With the current shortfall of close to 3500 units, if this situation comes to pass, and even though you get to the 1991-92 levels, there will still be this massive shortfall of 3500 units, which is about a $600 million price tag in today's prices. I would hope that some action is being taken now to look at alternatives. We just cannot look at one scenario. If we get a negative answer, or even If we got a reduction, Mr. Chairman, and you do not got your share of the pie, I wonder If you could, for our benefit, give us some idea of what kind of alternative options the Housing Corporation and your office are currently looking at, Mr. Morin.
