Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Whether or not the decision, in the first instance, in isolation or in tandem with the decision to locate capital facilities elsewhere at that particular time, the fact is, as a Minister and as a Cabinet, we believe that locating the adult facility here is the most logical thing to do. To construct a young offenders facility here in partnership with the construction of the adult facility is the way to go. It is my view that we do not have time to revisit this, to put this back on the table. It means the entire capital projects should then also follow the same. We are not in the business of revisiting Cabinet decisions and opening up capital projects that have been voted on and committed to in this House in Cabinet and in the Financial Management Board. The time to have consulted was prior to June, 1998, and September, 1998. That, unfortunately, as far as I know, was not done. Thank you.
