Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the female young offenders facility in Inuvik has had a lot of work gone into it and support from the government and the Legislative Assembly to have it in Inuvik. The support is still there. The decision to have the facility built in Inuvik is still there. As the honourable Member mentioned, it is a class D estimate that was originally put as a price tag for a facility like this facility in Inuvik, not knowing the location and a lot of work still has to be done on the geotech. We have done that and so we are kind of narrowing the estimate and, at this stage, I am told by the department that the final figure has not been reached yet. We are working with the Department of Public Works and Services to try to determine what figure we are going to come up with, but there is an increase in the original approved amount right at this point. We have not determined how much that is going to be, but the support for this facility is still to be in Inuvik at this point in time. Thank you.
