Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation, and they are in follow-up to some of the issues that have been raised about the capacity for northerners to participate in the manufacturing of units which could serve as camps during the construction phase of the pipeline, and, ultimately, housing units after the fact. Mr. Speaker, in some instances, it's hard to discuss these things on the floor of the House, because we are dealing with proprietary information; we're dealing with patents, in some cases; we're dealing with business plans of private corporations; but I do think that we can talk about the concept of northern participation in general terms. I would like to ask the Minister if he has recently had discussions with representatives of Hay River, with respect to including northern participation in the procurement of these types of units. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
