Thank you, Madam Chair, and I thank the Minister for his indulgence on a few more questions. Last year when we had the Housing Corporation before us, I made mention of the fact that perhaps a shift in government policy towards more multi-unit, multi-dwelling units would be a better way to go. I think having travelled to a number of communities here in the Northwest Territories, one of the demographics that people often talk about is the young single professional. Oftentimes it's a teacher or a nurse or whoever is in the community who needs housing. They don't need a stand-alone house; what they need is a roof over their head and a place to sleep at night that's comfortable. I think, as a government, we have to try to move towards more of a multi-unit, multi-dwelling set-up. Gone are the days when we can afford to build a house for everybody. We need to really take a good hard look at where we're spending our money. I don't know if the Minister, in this circumstance, has the information in regards to a breakdown of what the 580 units will entail. Are they all stand-alone? What's the mix of multi-unit dwelling and single households, Madam Chair? Thank you.
