Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Members will remember that when I brought forward the submission or when the supplementary came forward in June, there was money in there for the operations and maintenance of a separate legal aid clinic, but there was no money to actually fit up the clinic. All it was was the O and M costs. So had we not agreed to do a special warrant, we would be waiting until this session right now to be considering this money before we could even advertise for space for the clinic. So there would be no possible way that we could get the clinic working this fall. We would be talking about January or February. So there would have been no point to having the $266,000 that I got to run it because we wouldn't be able to run it anywhere.
So I don't know what the expectation was, but if we didn't approve the tenant improvements in June, if we didn't go ahead with a special warrant, then it couldn't possibly be done until this session right now. Since we haven't finished the supp, that means that we wouldn't be able to go out with the process to find space for this clinic until probably sometime next week. For another 18 days on top of that, we're talking about moving in at the earliest in January or February. I'm still hoping that we're going to beat that timetable. We had been aiming for October 1st. We've obviously missed that date now, but I still am hopeful that we will have the clinic open before Christmas and that we will, in fact, be able to start to deal with the backlog in legal aid clients. So there really is no other way to handle the expenditure other than through special warrant if you want to meet the timetable that was set when I came forward with the O and M monies.
