Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Member touched on an issue I was going to raise as well. In the past couple of budgets, we went through a process of the non-market housing initiative to deal with the professionals that come to our communities and try to find affordable housing in those communities.
We did establish that. It was a bit of a bumpy ride initially, but all of those units are now, if not the majority of them, all of them have been taken up. I would gladly raise that again to see if we should progress because it was done in two phases and now that's complete. We would have to look at if there is a will of this House to look at doing another level of that in trying to address that.
Part of the issue is affordable facilities in our communities. We still found that when we made those available, there was some reluctance to actually buy or purchase those units or lease those units, but I think as they became familiar with them, the uptake was better. We also found once we made those units available in communities, other community representatives or staff took up those available units as well. It was a success all the way around and we would have to continue working along that line in how can we address that, should we look at another level of that or another phase of that? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
