It is not the matter of a single house or infrastructure. As you would know, a large amount of infrastructure is required on these communities, and it may well be a large number of houses and associated infrastructure. Like you, I have no knowledge of the threshold required by the Public Works Committee, but I would imagine that the nature and the size of the infrastructure required in this particular challenge would be something that might well fall within their purview.
