Mr. Chair, I'm not sure that was actually an answer. Are we talking about 2019, 2020, 2023, that people are going to have to wait to see what this resource centre is going to look like and have access to it without having to call somebody and arrange for someone to come down and open up a door? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Yes, Mr. Chair. The money for the new resource centre, as I understand it, is part of the 2018-2019 budget, but I think the point is that there won't be a period of time where there will be nothing. If we do move to a new resource centre, we're hoping it will be a seamless transition from the old library. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank, Mr. Chair. Yes, I think I've heard the words "seamless transition" from the Minister before in a different context, so I'm not sure I want to go there.

Can the Minister commit to provide a bit more of a plan for what this resource centre is going to look like, when it might be open, and what actually happened with the materials and with the court library? Can he give us a written update? I don't want to prolong this, but can he commit to give us a written update and a plan for the resource centre? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister, the Member is asking for a written update. How do you respond?

Yes, we can provide a written update.

I just want to point out, however, that it's not as though any of the materials in the old library have been disposed of to this point. The full collection is there. It's not being updated as it once was, admittedly, but the old collection is still there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Great. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, in giving us that written update, if you can talk about the transition from the court library to the resource centre as well, that would be great. Any idea when we might be able to get that update? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I believe we could get that update quite soon. The complication, as I said, was that the renovations that initially seemed to be fairly straightforward are going to be more complicated, but I will provide the update as requested. Thank you.
