Mr. Chairman, I do have the information with regard to Mr. Koe's previous question and I'll answer that first, if that's okay, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Chairman, there were 271 tenants in level II and III communities and they expressed an interest in purchasing single units at the initial call. To date, 16 units have been sold and there are 53 more deals pending. There are 80 more requests that have come forward during the intervening period and we will be giving consideration on how to address those requests in the near future, as we will be looking at row housing, eight-plexes and four-plexes, et cetera.
Did we affect the housing market in communities, Mr. Chairman? Personally, in Hay River, I didn't get any complaints there about housing. I am not aware that there were any complaints in Yellowknife. We did initially have some problems in Inuvik and I think those were straightened around. I think people are now beginning to realize that there is an initial impact, there is no question about that, but it might only last 90 days, 6 months or it might last a year.
When you are investing in a house, Mr. Chairman, you are usually investing in that particular facility for some considerable period of time. After those initial bumps, as people get used to the idea as the housing units come on the market, I think we'll ultimately see the housing market maybe not race ahead -- as it did in the late 1970s, early 1980s and maybe even the mid-1980s -- but certainly it will be a steady growth pattern, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
