Thank you, Madam Chair. The Member is correct; there is clearly a demand for single units that are out there. The Housing Corporation did some work a number of years back on the concept of a small unit. The costs were higher than I think made sense in terms of looking at that versus one-bedroom/two-bedroom type units. I think there’s some more research that needs to be done. I know there was a northern housing conference recently where there were a number of discussions around smaller units and those sorts of things, and I think it’s one of those areas of innovation that Member Dolynny spoke about that I think we have to continue to do the work and see if there are some options there. It really is the cost that has to drive us on that one and then recognizing that families continue to have fairly major needs as well. Thank you.
