Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Member's concerns and comments. The indications we have are that there's a substantial pressure on accommodations in Fort Smith, and if we lose one of the units then we will have difficulty accommodating students at Fort Smith. The reports were done by Public Works and Services. Their recommendations came forward with what the replacement costs would be, versus new construction. Because of the difference in cost, the recommendation was that we do go for renovations in those particular units and replacement of 15 housing units.

Mr. Chair, the accommodation issue is a critical one in Fort Smith if the fire marshal does shut down one or two of the units. We do have indication from the fire marshal's office that is a concern and they want us to do something about it. Therefore, we proceeded with the program that we put before Members, and we feel that's only appropriate to address it in that fashion. The concern by the fire marshal is very serious. The accommodation availability can be difficult for Fort Smith if we do not adhere to addressing these issues. I think it is important, Mr. Chair, to point that out. Thank you.
