Thank you, Madam Chair. We heard the Members loud and clear last year and I can tell you that there are no public housing units being built as detached homes. We're not doing that anymore. They're all multi-family, multi-unit homes. Now when we look at the 530 in the affordable housing initiative, most of the units, I don't have an exact breakdown, but most of the units are part of multi-plexes of some sort. They're duplexes, they're four-plexes, they're six-plexes, there's even eight-plexes and so on, but we are going away from building just stand-alone houses. They're too expensive and often not what people want to afford or can afford to rent or to purchase.
