I do have the “can do” attitude. Just on this initiative, no can do.

As I indicated, this is not something we’re ready to move forward on. We’ve looked at many of the initiatives that have been worked on for log units. Almost every one of them has come in over budget; in some cases, three to four times higher than what the budget was actually set. We still haven’t seen a design that meets the EnerGuide 80 rating. In order for this to be successful and meet the principles of a basic unit program, it has to do both. We can’t move forward with a basic unit if it falls, exceeds
the threshold set for forgivable mortgages. That’s going to be very difficult. If the house is not energy efficient, then it really defeats the purpose.
We have designs ready to go for stick built. We’ll continue to look at this. If the Member has any suggestions or any proposals that he would like to bring forward, we will consider it. There are other Members who have indicated and are bringing proposals and designs for us to consider. For this construction season, we don’t have a design. We don’t have a program that will fit the bill and we can’t move forward with any log units for this year.
