Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The whole issue of the standards and criteria that have been used previously is clearly out of date. It's obvious from our calculations, that we are not planning to respond to the growing populations of school age children and also adult training programs that we are implementing in our communities.
As a result of that, we have taken the initiative to come forward to respond, first of all, to the kinds of comments that have been made by the Standing Committee on Finance and concerns expressed in this House, to revise the standards and criteria. We are doing that now. I had hoped that we could have them concluded by December. However, because we have been preoccupied by a number of other issues, such as the budgetary process, we have been unable to complete the
details of that work. As a result, it is going to take us about an additional month before we have concluded that issue.
In future, the capital planning we do will be based on those new standards and criteria of which high school planning is another aspect. St. Pat's, I believe is the first high school built 25 years ago, so the standards that are being used are a bit old and really not, in many ways, reflective of the kinds of programming that we are going to offer in that school. So, that is the problem and we recognize it.
