Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I believe that you need to keep the two initiatives separate. On YCC, I believe that the architects recommended that it looked like it would be cheaper to build new rather than trying to renovate the 40 percent first proposed. They said that instead of spending $35 million over seven years, a new facility built over a shorter time period would be estimated at $30 million. They also suggested further savings could be achieved by sharing the planned services, if that was possible, between the YCC and the young offenders facility.
