Yes, it is. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, and thank you for that clarification from the Minister. I will move on to asking about the perimeter fence. Again, this seems to be funding that is allocated to address the security concerns that emerged after that escape. Is that correct for this $414,000 fencing project? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. The Minister has indicated that Mr. Stewart will field this one. Mr. Stewart.

Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is this work expected to be completed within the next fiscal year? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Yes, it is, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Anything further, Mr. Testart?

Thank you. Also, under court services, we have some funding for courthouse cells, secure interview rooms, and a common lobby for a courthouse. I know that our courthouse facility here in Yellowknife is not owned by the government, and has undergone a number of retrofits over the years. Is any more work anticipated past this point of this project, or are we going to continually see large appropriations, as this is around $795,000 in retrofits? Are we going to continue to pay these kinds of rates for the facility we are currently renting? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is work that is being done now, and looking into the future, we would have to see a business case or see what we can do, going forward, looking for another courthouse building in Yellowknife, and then that challenge of our fiscal capacity, as well. There is some work that we need to do going forward, because the Member pointed out the fact that we have $795,000 identified in this particular infrastructure budget for that. There is some work to do, going forward. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I do appreciate the Minister's comments about limited resources. I guess my concerns around this are: I know that a study was done many years ago on a new courthouse facility, but it just seems like this thing keeps eating money, as there are constantly new concerns that seem to be coming forward. It is an office tower that has been modified into a court facility, and the judiciary is intertwined with the Department of Justice, which is not an appropriate separation of power.

There are many concerns here, so I guess my concern is: although I know we have limited fiscal capacity in some areas, there are many capital needs such as schools and hospitals; but if we don't do something about this eventually it is going to continue to demand fiscal resources again and again and again, rather than just creating a purpose-built facility. Is the Minister willing to evaluate it on that merit? Not just the need for a facility, but how much this facility has consumed our fiscal capacity to date, considering we don't actually own the building. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we will evaluate it. Thank you.
