Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are basically working to ensure that we are putting housing on the ground with the dollars we can afford. I think the Member is basically not really revealing the facts. We are not paying any company $200 million. The $200 million investment that the federal government and ourselves is going to make is get these units after the pipeline is concluded, move them into the communities where there's a cost associated with that, have the individual communities do the conversion and the dollars will remain in the Northwest Territories for those communities and our northern economy; $150 million will be there. We're not buying these off of any company. We're basically negotiating with the pipeline company to ensure us that we have access to these units once the pipeline is concluded at no cost. Thank you.
