Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm new to this process, so please bear with me as I go through it. I'm still struggling with some of these projects that have been out there. It seems to be not utilizing existing spaces that we have, and I will bring those concerns up later on when we look at each department. That is a concern. It's just a lot of money being used that could be used somewhere else, I firmly believe. The other concern I have is the Department of Infrastructure. I've heard the Members here and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it because it doesn't exist, and so I don't know how the process works, but we're talking about a phantom department. I know it is part of the business plan, but I mean it's part of long-term planning too and we don’t see 19, 20, 21, 22 business plans in here in the capital. So it is a concern that we should have it in each department, the Department of Transportation and the DPW, lined out so we can actually have discussions on their capital plan.
So I know, again like I said, I'm new to this process, but I'm hoping that we can follow the process that is supposed to be laid out and follow it properly. As I go on, I must say I'm disappointed that we haven’t seen housing for the smaller communities as in Aging in Place. I know we're doing the nine-plexes which is really amazing and I'll be doing a Members' statement on that; however, what about the smaller communities where a nine-plex doesn't really meet the needs, and that to me is a concern. Why aren't we looking at that? Why aren't we looking at four-plexes so that these elders can stay in their homes or in their communities as we have with the older people?
So I'm hoping to see that. You know, it won't be in this year's business plan because I mean I've already checked it out and I didn't see it, but I'm hoping that we each one region looked at next business plan anyway through it. So thank you, Mr. Chair. Those are my comments.
