Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I would hope the property management tender we will put out will in fact include the leases the government pays for. In other words, we will have the private sector manage the leases on any surplus housing the government currently pays for. For example, the pilot project in the Keewatin now looks after all the leases, looks after all the maintenance and looks after the collection of the rents from the individual tenants. We are certainly looking for an expansion of that program. I look forward to be able to move quickly, before spring of this year, to conclude it right across the territorial framework, so that government can be out of the business of housing and put in the private sector where it belongs. Thank you.
