Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Has it ever been looked into to provide premanufactured homes in the communities? If that's not feasible, why would it not be feasible?

Goo Arlooktoo Baffin South

Mr. Chairman, I believe the Member is talking about modular homes. There is a pilot project beginning this year where we will have one put together in one of the communities. They're looking into it now.

Thank you. I believe we used to have pay-back programs in the early 1960s, where they were already put together. It was just a matter of putting them up and all the walls were complete. That was just a comment I wanted to make. I'm trying to be neutral here. Thank you. Total contributions, Fort Smith, total region, $4.215 million. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess this would apply to all the numbers we have here on capital. Was there an average per unit being built, a dollar figure attached per unit, and is that how you came about your numbers?

Goo Arlooktoo Baffin South

Mr. Chairman, I believe the Member asked about costs per unit. I don't have that in front of me. Maybe I'll just quickly go through this. The Baffin is getting 112; Keewatin will get 65; Kitikmeot will get 53; North Slave will get 27; South Slave, 32; the Western Arctic or Delta will get 37; for a total in the NWT of 346.
