Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is an interesting amount of detail for a tender that went out with no specifications. Mr. Speaker, I think it would be safe for the Minister to assume that the construction technique is somewhat different for mobile home units. I am responding to this because of the response to Mr. Villeneuve. It kind of suggested that somehow mobile homes are substandard. They are not substandard, but they are different. Life expectancy on a mobile home could be half of that of a normal stick built home, and that is just an industry knowledge that is understood. For example, the ability to insure mobile homes is quite different than stick built homes. So it goes to that point, and I just hope that all of these, and I had asked the Minister, if all of these variables have been considered in terms of investing taxpayers' dollars in these quick-fix market units. We may say they are cheaper than going with the stick built technique, but I want to know if the Minister has considered all of those things, the shorter life expectancy, the higher maintenance, the higher insurance costs, all of these other things. Thank you.
