Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I should not give the committee the impression that this is a money-saving initiative. It is primarily a safety and security initiative. It is safety for the public, protection of young offenders from being held with adult prisoners, protection and security for judges, for people who are working in the sometimes sensitive area of enforcing maintenance orders, better protection for our court records and exhibits. So it is not really intended to be a cost-saving measure, but it is intended to protect the safety of the public and public officers in our system. So I cannot say it is going to cost less, but it may save some people from having their personal safety endangered.
As well, Mr. Chairman, I would like to point out that this amount is an estimate. The project has been designed and would be put out to tender shortly. The actual cost may vary according to the tender bids. I assume we will get the best price that the marketplace will allow. I am not sure if this would be the case if we ask the landlord to undertake improvements. We would not have the same control over costs if it was done in that manner. Here, our Department of Public Works will be managing the project following public tenders. Thank you.
