What’s happening at Stanton is that the consultant has been hired to do that plan…. No, $17 million is not for the consultant; $17 million is allocated for the renovation work that we know we’ll follow. I’m working through the deputy minister — or the deputy minister is working with the Stanton Authority — to make sure the concentration of that master development project is on the seven key areas where it’s seeing most pressure: the emergency unit, diagnostic and imaging, medical daycare, ICU and some other places I can’t remember right now.

Understanding, also, that the building of the consolidated primary clinic will reduce the pressure in the emergency unit, which will impact the way the master development plan is done.

Also, the building of the territorial dementia centre will allow 18 residents who are in the extended care unit right now to be moved out.

These three projects are related. The amount allocated here is obviously plan B, or class B, estimation.

See context to find out what was said next.
