Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When examining the new building at SCOF we were astounded that we were going to get 50,000 square feet and that cabinet would not be committing to take up full-time occupancy in this building, but in fact adding another office to what they already have. In some cases this would mean a third or fourth office for a cabinet Minister. We do not really feel the need for that. I would be happy to offer the use of the office across from mine for a cabinet Minister's executive assistant if you wish, because I am not going to have one. So rather than having that office sit empty I think there are ways to move the cabinet in there.
Motion That Executive Council Take Up Full-Time Occupancy In New Legislative Assembly Building, Carried
Therefore, I would like to move that the committee recommends to the cabinet that they make a commitment to take up full-time occupancy in the new Legislative Assembly building in order to reduce the duplication of costs.
