Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of all the things that the Minister just stated, I don't think the argument that because we need to provide housing that we have to waive BIP makes any sense. I don't think government should be comfortable in saying we have to do this and the way to do it is to waive the BIP. I think the most germane thing that the Minister said is that there is cost involved in the BIP. He's saying that there was potential for cost, this is the cheapest way to do it, and I've been reading from that that the Minister and the Cabinet are suggesting that BIP costs money. I want to know from the Minister what information he has and what his information says about how much extra cost applying the BIP would have made. Thank you.
