Thank you, Madam Chairperson. In the area of the manufacturer's policy, the Member is correct. We are well aware of the situation there, the 25 percent premium we, as a government, pay on behalf of people who use our products or access through the Housing Corporation to build a home. We have not, to date, gone any further than the existing program that is out there which, as the Member is correct, it only deals with the GNWT portion of dollars or capital that is worked on. We would have to relook at that manufacturing policy and that is something that we could do and look into to see what is available. The same goes in this area, as the Member raised earlier, are the cost implications to the government as well as any changes that we would look at, we would have to see what implications would be put on, for example, seniors as well as private sector or the GNWT as a whole. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
