Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there was a directive given by the Department of Finance to look at putting houses in non-market communities to assist in where we try to attract professionals or people delivering programs and services in those communities where we don't have a market in place to provide housing. A majority of our communities, 75, 80, in some cases 95 percent of these houses in those communities are public housing for social clients. There is a very small portion of those houses owned by the private sector that are available for rent. We are finding that we have professions trying to get jobs in communities and renting whatever they could find. In most cases, there was very little opportunity to rent or whatnot in those communities. So a decision was made by the government to pass a directive directing ourselves, as the Housing Corporation, to deliver houses to non-market communities to assist in accommodating those people going into those communities, providing a government service by way of housing at the lowest cost possible with regard to a cost recovery principle where we could not add on any extra cost in regards to administration or extra operational costs. We had to do it on a cost-recovery basis. So we were only able to recoup the cost of those units by way of rent or selling those units outright to professionals or people in the communities who provide services.
Also, as part of the directive, there were three principles. The first principle was to give the options to the professionals coming from outside of the community. The second principle was to offer it to government bodies, municipalities, band councils, community governments. The third option was for people in the community who would be able to acquire it who needed housing in communities where right now there was no market. Those were the three guiding principles that we were following. Thank you.
