Thank you, Madam Chair. The Housing Corporation previously conducted some analysis of whether it was cheaper to build public housing or to lease it, and they determined, ultimately, in the long run, it was cheaper for them to build and own their infrastructure. I note that our lease policy requires us to undertake a lease-versus-own analysis of all of the GNWT properties to see whether it's cheaper. In general, does the department have a sense of whether it's cheaper for us to own or lease our buildings? I note we built some very large office towers, such as the new government building, before, so was that the determination there, that it was cheaper for us to own it than it was to lease it? Thank you, Madam Chair.
