Thank you. I'm interested in this item as well. The Minister indicated that this is not a big policy shift and in fact made the case that all we're doing is moving the staff housing responsibility from FMBS to the Housing Corporation. But I'm sure, or maybe I should ask, the record of decision coming out of Cabinet would just indicate that that's all that was going on with the shift of responsibilities. It wouldn't be a directive or an allowance for the Housing Corporation letting them get into the renting out of units to the general public in non-market communities on a non-subsidized basis? Because whether that's right or wrong, I'm not saying it's wrong, it may be, as Mr. Dent's indicated, a very good idea, but that in my mind is a policy shift. There's a record of decision coming out of Cabinet that that be what the Housing Corporation should do going forward, then that is a big policy shift, I would think.
