Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate whether or not any of the most recent numbers have changed in terms of justification for the school? Since the last time we got together on this, the numbers have sort of dropped over less than anticipated.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The project commenced, I believe, in the year 1990/91, and has been on-going since then. I picked the wrong year. Sorry, Mr. Chairman, it was 94/95 the project was initiated with the planning monies. The project has been ongoing since then and with a project of this magnitude, this is the average timeframe.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate if the issue of whether or not there was adequate planning and analysis, or there was a lack of adequate planning and analysis, whether that situation has been remedied? We are not dealing with significant capital projects in the future. They may not be justified in these times of limited dollars.
