Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was hoping to make a statement on Novel housing this afternoon, but I couldn't do two things at once. I'd like to ask a question to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, and I'd like to make it clear that my problem with the Novel project isn't because they are trailers. I have already indicated in the House yesterday that we have great trailers in my riding. What I have a concern with is, given the track record of some of the things that have been done, especially the market housing initiative where 40 trailers had such a problem being moved into our communities, I don't want the government to have a legacy of subsidizing these big fancy oil companies, who need housing anyway, subsidizing ATCO, who's in the business of building trailers, and the government ending up with 1,400 units that we are not able to move. So far, I'm not seeing any sound plan. A $200 million project is massive.
