Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have seriously thought this through in regards to the type of construction we are going to use. We are looking at multi-dwelling facilities, getting away from the stick-built single housing construction, because we are looking at the energy efficiency of these units versus the old units, but also looking at new building methods and materials that we use, which will basically give you better R value. We're able to heat the homes at less costs, but also ensuring that we do allow homes to be built for senior people with disabilities and also try to meet the needs of people in the different areas. So from the designs and the types of material that we're using, we're realizing that we are building houses differently than we did in the past. But one of the things that we really focus on is looking at the energy efficiency and also looking at multi construction of those facilities than simply going back to stick-built. We realize that we do have to replace a lot of public housing units and in order to do that we also have to look at the energy efficiency of those units. Thank you.
