Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do believe that -- there's a couple of things I heard in there and so I'm just going to take it, and then I'm going to transfer it to a different Minister actually.
Housing is one thing, and yeah, so I mean, years ago when we thought it would be cheaper to bring in modular homes is that modular homes don't transport well to the far communities in the North. So that -- you know, it's not going to be a reality for that. However, you always have to do the balance. Is it -- you know, is it -- you can get five modular homes for $500,000 versus one stick-built for $500,000, and you got like a huge waiting list of people that need housing. So there's always that balance, you know, jobs versus people and housing.
But bigger than that is, you know, having the housing program for three months and building one stick house in the community, that might answer it for a year, maybe two years, but I think ECE is doing some exciting work around the community labour market development plans. And so if you'd allow me, Mr. Chair, I'd like for the Minister of ECE to talk a little bit about what those are about and what he sees coming from those. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
