Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for allowing me to wrap up the first part of my response. The point I was trying to make is that decisions to locate and to carry out certain work, one of which is a $30 million capital commitment, was made over a year ago by Cabinet. I was

trying to spread out the credit.

But, if that is not to be the case, that is fine. But Cabinet takes responsibility for the decision that was made at that time. There was no explicit call, at that time, to have wide-ranging consultation about where those facilities would be located or whether or not the $30 million renovation to the adult facility located here in Yellowknife should be considered as a possible total replacement project. No, the Cabinet just decided yes, to locate the young male offenders facility here in Yellowknife, no consultation, no discussion. The same with the $30 million renovation to the adult facility. So the decisions were made last year.

The Member is asking is there any consultation available now. The decisions were made over a year ago. That is the point I was trying to make. I would like to get some credit for saying that, as a Minister who was assigned to this portfolio in April, I did take the time, at the request of certain Members, to review the decisions that were made to see if there were any arguments that could be made to revisit these issues. I have decided, as interested as I was, that it is not in the interest of the public, this government, the inmates or the people that we have commitments to, to revisit the issues at this time. I do not believe we have the time to consult and to put these projects back on the table. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
