Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll try one more time. Can the Minister provide me with the amount that is not tied up in current projects?

Okay, I'm going to go back to vice-president. I'm assuming you got the question from the Minister.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. Not committed, just looking here, about $60 million. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you for that answer. Just to clarify, $60 million of the $93 million is for projects that have yet to be started and hasn't been committed.
(audio) if we go back to the summary (audio) back to the summary, and I'll ask it then. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My statement is more of a comment here. Having seen a number of projects here out in the communities under construction, during construction, after construction, is it part of the housing department to have a follow-up review, a completion review after the project is done to see how it went, was it on schedule, was it done safely, was it done within the budget? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay. No, thank you, and thanks to the Minister for that response. I think quality control is very critical to the completion of these schedules, and it may minimize the carryovers and the delays. I know this is a department that's facing a lot of challenges, like many other employers out in the communities, with the workforce difficulties. But there's always room for improvements, and I see this as one. And if the department's doing that, that's good. It shows that you're looking at the construction costs per square foot. That's good. And if it went on time and in different areas -- you're building a home in several different challenging regions, so I make that suggestion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. My question to the Minister is the 150 units, how many of those units -- are those new builds, public housing units, or market housing? And how many of them are going into the Deh Cho riding, if they haven't already done so? Thank you.
