Mr. Speaker, I am not quite clear. I did say we would look at proposals to construct mobile homes in the North. The debate over stick-built over mobile homes was one that was taken. The Housing Corporation looked on a cost-recovery basis of what they could do in communities. They determined that stick-built constructed homes would be in the neighbourhood of $200,000, mobile homes at $133,000. It was quite clear that if they wanted a program based on cost recovery, this was what they had determined was the best way to go. So if somebody approaches us and wants to look at construction of mobile homes and a factory due to that in one of the communities, we will certainly take a look at that. We may get back to stick built. This is a balance between creating employment and putting the most economic type of housing on the ground. That's a policy decision to be taken, and those decisions, at this point, lie with the Housing Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
