Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the whole construction industry I think one area we should concentrate our efforts on in regard to the possibility of looking toward 1,000 new houses and the whole area of the manufacturer industries that we have the potential of in a lot of our smaller communities. I am talking about the riding I represent where we do have timber resources that could be used to make a lot of these products locally and also generate a local industry, especially where we have high unemployment. In regard to the manufacturer businesses that do presently exist in Yellowknife and Hay River that are making door frames, windows, siding for buildings; I think that has to be looked at in context of these new opportunities, not only the P3 but also the whole housing industry has to look at the possibility of bringing down the cost of importing a lot of these goods and manufacturing them locally.
In regard to that area and the spin-offs that will come from that sector, I would like to ask the Minister exactly how does he see that fitting into the overall picture of these new initiatives?
