It is not on the OPW but it seems to me that it is always the taxpayer that ends up bearing the risk when it comes to cost overruns. Again, that is not on the OPW; it is on this House. It is on us to provide the regulation and the legislation to ensure that does not happen in the future. Again, that is not on the OPW.

Regarding going forward with these modular homes, what is the story as regards who will manage them going forward? Is that a private contractor? Surely, there needs to be management of that.
