Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know the Minister has yet to receive the consultant's recommendations, but instead of the expensive alternative of building student residences, the approach which has been taken in the past, are there other approaches that could be taken in perhaps encouraging the private sector to fill these needs, entering into lease arrangements, guaranteeing occupancy? Will these kinds of options be considered by the Minister? They would allow things to happen much more quickly than building something into a five year capital plan. I am hoping that there will be solutions by next fall. Perhaps I am naive. There were 31 families who couldn't go to school because of housing problems this past fall. I think that is a crying shame. Thank you.
