Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This facility has been looked at for a number of years as to what options could be undertaken to either keep the facility, renovate the facility or replace the facility complete. In our estimates in 2004 for the renovation, it was identified as $12 million. For replacement of the new facility, it was an estimate in 2004, for the same size, was approximately $19 million. The fact is there has been discussion back and forth between Education, Culture and Employment, the community, and options were sought from Public Works. The work that was done and what options may be went back and forth for some time. Finally, the fire marshal's office became involved and looked at the deficiencies in that facility. The work that was done with the fire marshal was to get his okay to do the minimal amount of code upgrades, to get the blessing of the fire marshal's office to allow us to use that facility until a replacement facility could be constructed. Thank you.
