Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct, the Green and Brown houses is a life and safety issue, a protection of people, a priority. The 15 units are a protection of assets issue, which is also a very high priority. I guess an additional comment is, if the government doesn't continue to replace this asset, the concern is we will be left with this liability in the future. To clarify the numbers in Fort Smith, in the original information given to the standing committee, the college had actually used addresses to identify where students were from and in some cases, existing college students had used Fort Smith addresses and as a result the number of students from Fort Smith were overstated. In the new information, you will see that there is a lower number, 14, but they have not been included in the department's calculation of the 91 percent occupancy rate. Thank you.
