Mr. Speaker, I've gone to committee time and time again, which the Member is a chair of, which basically made presentations which show them the difference between what it costed for stick built, which is roughly about $195 a square foot compared to about $100 a square foot for Novel, which is 1,400 square foot home in regards to what it's costing with stick built. We've given that presentation to committee and basically have updated committee every time there's been a change, basically new information being provided. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day this is a project that's moving forward with the endorsement of CMHC, which is a federal agency for housing in Canada, and also FMBS is basically the responsibility for financial accounting of this government who, again, are proceeding on the basis that the information that we provide to committee is as up to date and as current as possible. So if the Member is missing something, I think that at the end of the day, this project, we will continue on on the basis of negotiating the best deal that we can and also knowing at the end of the day there is a project for this to happen. Without a pipeline, without federal dollars and also with our assurance that this is not economically viable, it will not proceed. Thank you.
