I thank the minister for his response and I ask a supplementary question. Based upon the scope of the work, the value of the SIHIP contracts that have been let to date, the administrative costs that are reported, the reported wastage and the reported inefficiency, how can the minister and the government still claim that 750 houses, 230 rebuilds and 2,500 refurbishments can be made? Is it not the case that in fact only about 300 houses can be constructed, not the 750 as promised and repromised by the minister and the government?
