Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes. I see it as in two steps. First of all is, what is the mandate of the Housing Corporation; second is, how should it be structured. So, Mr. Speaker, I have no doubt at all that as the committee goes around, someone is going to ask, for example, why do we have a Housing Corporation. Why a corporation? That issue will be discussed in terms of why it's structured as a corporation. No doubt that is going to be part of it. But our initial focus is going to be on how do we best deliver the housing programs that are needed by our residents. Then the second piece of it, and it may blend into that second piece, is how do we structure or restructure an organization, or organizations that are going to be able to achieve that mandate. So, Mr. Speaker, in the end, it may look very much like it does now, or it may look quite different. So, Mr. Speaker, yes, we are going to be visionary on this and, yes, we're going to leave nothing unturned as we begin to look at it. But I see it as being two phased, and I intend that we will complete that, for sure, within the life of our government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
