Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the memorandum of understanding is one where we commit to work with ATCO Structures and the Housing Corporation in sharing ideas and information to see if this concept will work, and is workable, and meets the requirements for affordable, suitable, energy-efficient housing in the Northwest Territories. The urgency around this, Mr. Speaker, is when you look at the Mackenzie gas project, and they're going through the hearing stage, the urgency is the fact that as the Mackenzie gas project prepares to ramp up, or offering out contracts to prepare for this, they're starting to make some of their calls. They've got a window. When the decision is finally made, the window for actual bids and so on to be entered into is very short. We've got to work from that date backwards. The ability for a company to put this many units out to the satisfaction we would have, the work has to be done up front and that's why we've come to this House before any deal has been signed, besides that of basically a confidentiality agreement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
