Mr. Chairman, during the design of the building MLAs were consulted on the kinds of things that they would like to see in the building, and I know Members that were here during the last Legislature went through that whole process of being interviewed and filling in all those forms. I think one of the things that was most popular was the ability to have a cafeteria or some kind of restaurant where Members could eat. The consideration that it was somewhat away from downtown, further than this facility, was another thing that prompted MSB, Management and Services Board, to put in a coffee shop/cafeteria into this building. It will be let on a contract to an operator and the operator will obviously have to recover his or her cost, and presumably they would want to make a profit as well, so it will not be subsidized. It will be done on contract, and Members and their guests will have to pay for food or beverages purchased from that cafeteria. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
