Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister just repeated what I said, which is that the department rewarded the party who did not meet the
timeline by giving them a 15-year leasehold contract. Now, I have a problem with that. The second thing is, I resent greatly anybody across the floor saying that when we're asking questions about the way they're spending legal aid money that we somehow do not support expansion of the Legal Aid program and I do not appreciate that, Mr. Speaker. I want to tell the Minister and the Cabinet, they know that other NGOs, for example, the Centre for Northern Families, suggested that perhaps this new lawyer practice out of that service. A doctor goes there for service and it's been a great success. Why don't the lawyers go where the most services are? Why didn't the Department of Public Works and Services staff look at places like that or any of the many buildings around the courthouse or downtown area? Why did they go to the most expensive mall and say what do you have? I want to know what regulations there are that the staff could just call anybody and say do you have a place for 15 years. I want to know what the criteria is. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
