Thank you, Madam Chair. I think the other members of committee or the report has highlighted it. There is one, I guess, residual program that the corporation undertook early in the life of this Assembly, and I believe it was called the market housing initiative. It was a program that I think the Legislature requested and this was to assist, especially the smaller more remote communities, Mr. Chair, who had difficulty attracting and keeping essential community workers, and we're especially looking here at teachers and health care workers. Mr. Chairman, over the course of two years, this program has caused some issues here in terms of its delivery, its implementation, its cost, value for money spent. I wanted to ask the Premier, I'm sorry, the Minister, if they could provide a snapshot of just how successful or otherwise was the market housing initiative. I believe it said they put some 44 units on the ground in a number of communities. Just how successful was it, Mr. Chairman, in supplying housing for essential education and health care workers in the smaller communities, Mr. Chairman?
