Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In response to that question, no, we haven't met with industry as of yet. This is an initiative that we inherited from the 14th Assembly. We have some real serious timelines to work with. We need to have the contract out and the buildings in Hay River by a certain deadline. Therefore, we haven't had the opportunity talk to large groups. We have contacted the affected communities. We have contacted the Construction Association. We have some people coming to meet with me to talk about the initiatives such as the Member is referring to, about the possibility of looking at how we can manufacture these units in the North. That's certainly something we would embrace. We are encouraging it. We would like to see something of that nature set up for the long term. So we intend to, but as of yet we have not talked to anybody regarding construction of these units. Thank you.
