Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is our sincere wish and hope and plan that this will be completed this year. The project scope has not changed on the project. However, the cost has increased because of inflation and wage costs, and some necessity to change the design because of some developments as the renovation design was worked up in more detail. They needed to add additional resources to the project.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the area of petroleum products, is this all due to capital carry-overs?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister give us an idea how much money has been spent to date in regard to the Laing Building? This thing has been around for quite some time. There has been a lot of money spent in the past on renovations and upkeep. It seems like it is an ongoing process. For the amount of money that has been spent to date, we probably could have built a few more buildings. Do you have a general idea on how much money has been spent to date on the Laing Building in regard to upgrades and upkeep, just within the last five years?

Mr. Chairman, I do not expect the Member is asking what has been spent over history on that building. There is a lot of work that has been done since it has been built. In this most recent project to upgrade the building, the only work that is ongoing right now is work on the elevators. That is $750,000. That work is not yet finalized, so it is ongoing right now.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not asking for the history of the cost in regard to the operations and maintenance of this building. I am talking about when the decision was made to look at doing the upkeep, or looking to bring it up to certain standards, which I believe just happened within the last five years when that decision was made.
To date, it has come up several times through the budget process and through supplementaries. Personally, I have no problem with that. It is a government building, a government asset. Sooner or later we have to realize there has to be a conclusion to this. Do you have any idea as to exactly, since the decision was made to make a major investment or make improvements on that building, how much has been spent to date?

Mr. Chairman, going back a few years ago, there was an effort to sell the building, but we did not get any offers that were worth anything. The decision was made to renovate it instead, upgrade it. In addition to what is here, I would estimate there has probably been $500,000 that has been spent. That is in addition to what you see listed in the book. That is $3,207,000 plus the $900,000 plus $500,000 or so.
