Thank you, Mr. Chair. We manage each community within a certain allocated inventory, so the units that were actually demolished would have been replaced, probably prior to the demolition or at the same time. Therefore, the actual housing units within that community would remain stable. There would be the exact same amount as previous. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We have within this proposed fiscal year coming up, we have a total of 21 public house replacements. There will be 21 new housing units on the ground where the units that are currently there are not usable. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are just doing the final touches, putting the pretty pictures on, and it will be tabled during this session. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is correct. It is the eight-plex that we are talking about. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It isn't?
