Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m not aware of whether or not the department has had many consultations with the Department of Health or any other buildings on how we can achieve economies of scale in our construction. We do know that we have specialized buildings, just like Health has very specialized buildings. As far as utilities, there may be options to do something like that and that might be a better question for Public Works and Services.
With respect to the building in Fort Smith, we are trying to achieve some economies of scale by tying into some of the heating and utilities systems that exist in the facility that is going to stay in Fort Smith. There are going to be two facilities in Fort Smith, a male facility and a female facility. We’re looking at finding ways to utilize some of the mechanical systems to reduce our costs, reduce our footprint when we actually get around to constructing the facility in Fort Smith.
With respect to the conversation about the economies of scale between the departments, I’m happy to talk to my colleague, the Minister responsible for Public Works and Services, to see what kind of opportunities exist in the future, absolutely.
