I don't -- I didn't get the answer. So I guess what I'm -- what I'm going to assume here is that out of the 20 some hundred units that Housing Corporation has, there's only 102 units that are sitting empty right now.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And out of those 102 units, are any of them slated for sale to clients; and if so, how many? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, yes, in addition to the 102, there are 71 units that are either slated for sale or to be assessed whether sale or demolition is the appropriate option. So that is in addition to the hundred units that we are repairing or planning to occupy. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So it's interesting to hear that you might sell them or you might tear them down so it's -- I'm not sure what kind of shape they're in. And I guess that kind of leads up to my -- my next question here, is of those units, of the stock that we have, how many are deemed beyond repair and -- yeah, how many are deemed beyond repair as of today? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. It's approximately half and half in that number that's identified as for sale and for demo. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And the units that are deemed unrepairable, is there a dollar value that you look at to ascertain, I guess, whether they are beyond repair? What's the criteria and how do you -- how do you come at that -- arrive at that? Thank you.

Oh thank you, Madam Chair. There is a term for it. I'll have Vice-President Martin answer the question. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So when we do assess the condition of the unit, we do take into consideration the level of investment that would be required to bring that unit back into service, and typically if it -- our guideline essentially is if it would cost us more than 70 percent of replacement value to renovate that units, then we would be looking at replacing and surplusing that unit. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the next question is the ones that will be sold to -- or the ones that are -- that you said were either going to be deemed not -- the ones that couldn't be occupied and were going to be deemed, I guess, slated for demolition but then at the same time you said that possibly that same unit, it may be sold off. So if you're going to sell a unit that's, you know, borderline, do you also look at doing repairs to that unit prior to selling it to a client? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If this becomes an interest of -- I'm just going to use the example, if this is an interest of the Indigenous groups and it came forward and there's six units that they are interested in, then I would like to enter into some kind of agreement. If there's a possibility that they are able to take over these units, they want to take the hundred percent full responsibility. As a corporation, I would like to introduce them over to the federal funding that we do have and also support them through that process. Thank you, Madam Chair.
