Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To set the record straight, the Minister of Public Works stated that the reason for this cost increase was because the building was first designed for Hay River.

In fact, I recall in the 13th Assembly when this issue came up, there was no design at that time for a separate facility so that is not a correct response. The design has only been developed when they split the young offenders and female and male offenders facilities. That is why you have the male one here in Yellowknife and a separate one up in Inuvik.

At that point, there were no plans. There was nothing on the books. An issue came about as a result of the fire marshal's recommendations to the Legislative Assembly. For the record, we have to straighten that out. It is not the fact that the building was designed for a specific location. The design occurred after a decision was made to proceed with the project. Thank you.
