Mr. Speaker, we are not looking at getting out of the staff housing for a savings, per se. There is a great deal more to it than that. There will be savings to us. I cannot give you those numbers. It depends on the number of houses we sell, the areas that we sell those houses in and the price that we get for those houses. Cabinet is approaching selling our houses for a different reason. It is to get an economy and home ownership going in communities, to get people investing in equity which is ownership of physical structure, as opposed to just paying rent out constantly and having nothing to show for it at the end of a period of time. I will go back and see if we have any long-term numbers crunched, Mr. Speaker, and bring them back to the House. I will take the question as notice. Thank you.
