Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if the Minister is stating because of the needs of housing in the North that the government wants to provide housing by way of purchasing mobile homes and that is the government policy, let's have a debate on that. This is a total backdoor way of breaking all the rules, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to remind the Minister and the government that this policy was extraordinary. It waived the BIP and it undertook having mobile homes instead of building stick-built homes. The government had an onus to meet that this was going to work, and so far it hasn't worked. Fourteen out of 22 units are empty and there's no reason to believe that it's going to be any more successful. So I'd like to ask the Minister why he insists on going on with this policy that didn't work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
