Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is about the country club that is being built here in Yellowknife, the correctional facility. Mr. Speaker, the facility will contain two classrooms, a library, a gymnasium, three group programs, a spiritual room, chapel, arts and crafts room, aboriginal skill room, medic area, administration discharge and on top of that, the units for beds and whatnot which people are in custody.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister regarding the cost of this building, knowing that the original cost was at $35 million, which is now almost $50 million. I would like to ask the Minister, when discussing with the Department of Public Works the design of this building to eliminate some of these program areas, why was the Department of Justice's position not to take out those program delivery areas such as rooms for classes, libraries, spiritual room, chapel? Why did the department take that position?
