Thank you, Madam Chair. The Housing Corporation always had this number out as 95 percent is northern employment and northern contractors. I asked them about the additional, the five percent. Why isn't it 100? The five percent is with the space frames, so those have to be constructed in the South. I asked, "Why can't these be constructed in the North?" There are some Indigenous groups that are coming forward that are interested in constructing them and learning how to develop them or however. Once we're able to have those space frames developed in the Northwest Territories, it would be 100 percent then. If we're looking at specialized, I want to say, environmental assessments and whatever, that would need a specialized approach. Then, we would be looking throughout the territory. It hasn't happened. Thank you, Madam Chair.
