Again, Mr. Chairman, in the 15th Assembly a lot of work was put into this project and moving it ahead. It was done by the Minister of Education, the Minister of Public Works and the MLAs, and it was on the drawing board to move ahead.

Something has happened between the 15th and the

16th Assemblies, where this project has basically

moved totally off the game plan that was put in place in the 15th Assembly. This was supposedly

moving forward during that period of time. A lot of work and a lot of reviews took place. There was a plan in place to move on this project. We have the reports. We have had the assessment. It has gone to Cabinet. It has gone by way of these reviews between the MLAs, the Department of Education and the Department of Public Works. It’s gone through every step that had to be taken so that it can proceed, but for some reason it seems like there’s a bottleneck in the system somewhere, that this project has not been given the tools it needs to proceed. What we’re asking here is: can we proceed with this project in a timely manner so that they don’t have to wait until 2010 or ’11? Can we do it sooner?
