We did a little bit of follow-up since we were here yesterday. We are reasonably confident that we are going to be able to resolve the land tenure issues to get these units on the ground. Thank you.

Thank you for that, Mr. Chairman. Just to confirm, those 60 units, I think…Is it 34 or 38 that are scheduled for Ndilo and Dettah?

Mr. Chairman, I will have to ask Mr. Anderson to see if he has that information. Mr. Chairman, I would just add that the issue with Dettah and Ndilo, the meetings continue to happen. In fact, they are meeting tonight again to see if they can resolve some of these issues with some of our Housing Corporation staff.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we are looking at putting in two five-plexes into the two communities. Thank you.

That sounds like a reduction. My understanding was we were planning something like 34 or 38 units for Ndilo and Dettah. Is that correct? Thank you.

No, for the Dettah and Ndilo the original allocation was 14. Some money was moved to repairs and because of the time delay and that the cost of putting housing on the ground has gone up over the years, we feel we still have enough resources to do 10. Thank you.

I just have one question in terms of this Crown corporation. In terms of these units we just went through, is the Minister open to a negotiating process with the requests that come from the communities?

Mr. Chairman, we already do some of these projects in that fashion. We would be open to that, providing all of the ingredients or all the components of doing the contract in that fashion are there.
