Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in a letter to the chair of the Standing Committee of Government Operations on July 27th, the Minister responsible for Justice indicates that consultants have advised that by integrating the two projects, $1.3 million could be saved in capital and $262,000 in ongoing operations and maintenance. This would also mean the young offenders would have access to better facilities such as a gymnasium and a carpentry shop. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, since they brought consultants in and reviewed this from a cost saving for capital and this looks like a very thorough undertaking, it looks like a comprehensive review of things, but in that comprehensive review, did they not consider the potential further savings by relocating the facility? Thank you.
