Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Members are aware, we are a government that is increasingly under pressure to save money in every way possible and it has come to light that by combining the two facilities we could propose to save money by actually constructing a whole new building for the adult offenders here in Yellowknife and that by looking at sharing the facilities such as recreational facilities, some of the administration staff that we can save money, both in the construction of the young offenders facility and the adult facility by putting them in the same general location and by planning it that they can share some of the services, some of the facilities and it is the view of officials that this is still in line with the original Cabinet decision of June, 1998. This is where we are, I think, the supplementary appropriation will address some of the financial implications of going with this particular approach. Thank you.
