The item is capital development, college. It doesn't make sense to me, that's why I'm asking. What is that specific one?

Thank you. It says various. It doesn't say what the particular project is. There are renovations to occur in some of the facilities that we are now using. It's like any other various project. We know that we need renovations, the question is which project we're going to proceed with, at this particular juncture. But I can ask my staff to come in and we can be more specific about those issues. The problem is that we don't have the tenders out. That's the problem with it.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for clarification. That $30,000 then, is available to the other campuses other than just headquarters, is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I asked the Minister a question before the witnesses arrived but he suggested I wait until the officials were here. So, I will ask the same question, keeping in mind that the community learning centre in Coral Harbour is part of the school wing and there are capital plans to make an extension on the school. I guess my question is, where will this new learning centre be attached? The extension of the school, on page 16-14 will include part of the school that was being occupied by the community learning centre.
