Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course I do not view it as a crisis, I view it as an opportunity in the purchasing of the staff houses. We will conclude hopefully, despite some of the minor inconveniences and problems we have had over the last little while with the sale of the staff housing, hopefully, by the end of this year. If not, early into the new year. On the matter of leasing, I have said on a consistent basis that this government will continue where need can be established with developers to provide them with either lease guarantees or actual leases with respect to their housing. However, I should say, Mr. Speaker, where developers have had a long term fiscal by this previous governments for a long extended period of time and there is no requirement for borrowing purposes to have a continuing lease commitment, we are not prepared to commit then. Thank you.
