Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of the Housing Corporation in regards to the latest update on the ATCO Novel housing product. Mr. Speaker, we have just got the information that the size of this project has reduced quite a bit, from 1,400 housing units to about 830.
Mr. Speaker, let me just start by saying once again that I believe that ATCO Novel is a good product. It is a clever idea. It is a company that could stand on its own. The issue here is whether or not this government and this territory and people of the Territories are getting enough advantage in getting into a contract with this government with this company. So far we have not a good enough deal, as far as I can see. I would like to know, Mr. Speaker, as I stated in my Member's statement under Affordable Housing Strategy, the Minister plans to spend $100 million over the next three years to build 530 homes. Under the latest project on the ATCO Novel, the government is planning on spending over $200 million and yet we would only get 830. For $200 million, we should get at least 1,000. I would like to know where this great deal is that Novel is going to give us that warrants them as to be a lobbyist for them and have our own ADM when I don't see any deal. So what is the deal? What is the advantage we are getting? Where is the beast, Mr. Speaker?
