Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have said, the technical information about how we are going to borrow and amortize and finance these projects that have been approved will be answered by the Minister of Finance. I do know that we have decided the young offenders facility, which was identified as a potential P3 project, was no longer considered to be viable as a P3 project by the department because we know it takes an extensive amount of time to get approval and to get these types of arrangements in place. We are compelled by the fire marshal to provide a new facility in very short order. We are also compelled by the fact that we are now integrating two facilities, one which would be a government-owned facility and it no longer lent itself to be compatible with the P3 project. That was the reason we decided not to advance the young offenders facility as a P3 project. Thank you.
