Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, at the present time, we do not have any financial commitments to this project. We are working with the Mackenzie pipeline group to consider that they look at this as a concept to build workforce housing which can be converted into modular homes at the end of the project. So we are just asking them to consider this as an option that they will look at as a product they will use for pipeline construction. Also, working with our federal partners, they want to have assurance that whatever that product is, it will meet their requirements through CMHC. So through the team approach we've taken, we have been looking at the idea of trying to get industry to seriously consider a product they can use for workforce housing to be able to convert into modular homes. Once the project is concluded, we will sit down with them and take it off their hands to convert into modular homes. We haven't put any money on the table for this idea. It's simply in discussions between industry, ourselves, CMHC and the proponent, to see if we can sell on using a product that we feel could make a difference to housing in the Northwest Territories.
