Thank you, Madam Chair. Just one question for the Minister. Does the Housing Corporation have a market disruption policy and does the Housing Corporation see any market disruption in the awarding of this contract? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, this government has a market disruption policy, and I want to point out to the Member that there is no subsidy to this project. We don't anticipate it to be disruptive, as it's geared towards non-market communities.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just for clarification, I didn't hear the Minister when he answered whether the Housing Corporation does have a market disruption policy or not.

Thank you, Mr. Delorey. I believe that Mr. McLeod did respond that the government has a market disruption policy which I assume he intended includes the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, but I'll ask Mr. McLeod to confirm that. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Housing Corporation is, at any juncture when we place units or any sort of market units in market communities, very cognizant of the market and have always had a policy not to disrupt the market. I don't think we've had any market disruptions. In this particular initiative, the Housing Corporation has gone into only non-market communities and has not provided any government subsidies that could be viewed as disruptive.

Is this contract not being bid on by firms outside of non-market communities, Madam Chair?

Thank you, Madam Chair. We anticipate that the bidders would be from non-market communities, that's correct, but the actual project is not going into non-market communities. I'm sorry, not going into market communities.
