Thank you, Madam Speaker. We are currently working on that at the present time. There is an overall assessment being done anyway with respect to the selling off of government housing, whether it is here or in the east. I want to make it clear that I am sympathetic and supportive of this initiative. I hope that we will be able to identify some surplus housing and I hope we will be able to make a deal with the mining industry, given everything being equal. It will bring significant economic benefits not just to Yellowknife, but across the territories, in corporate spending, income tax, consumer purchasing, et cetera. The housing is one package of encouragement we are putting on the table, but there are a variety of others, as well. Thank you.
