Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I talk about housing, that is sensitive to the types of activities that people undertake. I know for awhile there was a wholesale move to have people have these high-energy-efficient furnaces that ran on fuel, and no wood stoves. That, to me, doesn't make sense. Another thing is the interior wall finishes. When you have access to wood, why would you pick a very hard to repair, unforgiving finish like drywall in houses? It doesn't stand up that well, maybe it has some fire retardant attributes, but these are the kinds of things. Does the corporation seek the input of communities, even for the social housing units, quite apart from the homeownership but on the social housing units, does it seek input from people about the kinds of things they would like to have in their houses as opposed to these very white and sterile and modern materials? Thank you.
