Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me just get really simple on this. What I am hearing from the Minister is that instead of this government getting advantage and getting a better deal by buying these used workforce housing, we are actually paying more. The Minister is saying that we have to do what Novel wants, which is that they want individual lots instead of its restricting our options of going multi lots which could reduce costs. I would like to know why it is that we have to pay $28 million in premium for buying this Novel trailer and paying $71 million to convert, and yet we end up with less housing units for $200 million than what we would if we would have had our own plan under Affordable Housing Strategy and extend that by six years for $200 million instead of paying it to buy these used trailers and spending $200 million to convert them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
