To be clear, the new figure is 375. The 1,000 to be delivered by the Land Development Agency will be turnkey in the sense that they are not part of the Land Development Agency's current pipeline. The LDA has told us that its current pipeline will not produce any new units until 2023 or 2024. Given that it was very difficult to deliver 390 turnkey cost rental properties last year and the Minister is now looking to do 1,000 with the LDA and an additional 375 with the AHBs, how confident is he that that target will be met? That is a big jump from the 65 delivered last year to the accumulated total this year?
