Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister for that answer. This is something that the community wants and this is something that I'll champion all the way. It's not some whimsical airy project that just come out of nowhere and I would just like to remind Members that we always said we'll bend over backwards for the will of the community and this is one of their wills, is to see the continuation of this building and Members want to say well, Kevin, you'll get a better building. Yes, okay, let's put $20 million on the books and I'll be happy to go home to Simpson with a $20 million building. In fact, doing that will bring, according to the new motion that we passed early this week of bringing $200,000 worth of arts into the community, you know, I'll look like a hero bringing that back. But the fact is right now the only solution now is to retrofit that building. I'm flabbergasted as well with the construction projection estimates. Like $3.5 million and people say well it's not going to cost that much, but it is, it is going to cost that much and that's a fact that's here today. Leasing a building and building a new building, that's going to be done, but today it's what are we going to do with all the employees and where are we going to house them, and this is the only solution that's there and I'm supportive of it and I believe this is the best course of action. Today this is the best course of action. So I support it and this is what we must do. Mahsi cho.
