Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, whenever the Cabinet reviews and assesses this research, we do not take it lightly. We take it very seriously. It is not something that we just go over without considering the things that the honourable Member is saying. We do consider all of these things. These are all very important. However, the correctional institute is here, the decision was made a long time before I got involved that the correctional centre is here and the decision was made before I got involved as a Premier, I was in Cabinet, to make a major renovation to the existing infrastructure that is there. The decision to relocate the young offenders facility was made here last year. So, you have two facilities, the Minister has indicated that he has reviewed and researched thoroughly and assessed the situation and the decision was not made lightly. It is the Cabinet's view that considering everything, the cost and everything, the best and most cost-effective decision in light of the information that we had at that time, we can only make decisions with the information that we have in front of us. We all know that and this is in a situation and the Cabinet had the best information that we could and the best and most cost effective decision and with that we made the decision to do this.
This is an ongoing thing. This is the money that was allocated to renovate the correctional institute is substantial. The money to build a whole new young offenders facility is substantial and then, if you combine it, rather than renovating what we have and building a new facility, cost-effective wise and assessing, if you combine it in building a new facility, in the long run you have some cost savings. This is where I agree with the honourable Member where you have to look at the costs of these things. There are limited funds, but the decision was made already and approved to spend huge amounts of money towards renovating the facility that is there and the fire marshal says we have to do something about it. We all agree that we are going to do something about it. As well as the youth facility is required and the decision was made to make it here. So, if what the honourable Member is saying is to renovate the existing facility with the way it was originally agreed upon, you renovate it over the period of time that was originally put forward and build a whole new youth facility. We could go ahead and do that. In the long run it is going to cost more to do that. In our view, it would be cost-effective and it would be quicker to build if we combine them in building a new facility. This is the decision that this Cabinet made. Thank you.
