Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding from some of my constituents is that the exercise yard is currently in use. I know this is an operational concern, but I am wondering if this project still needs to be completed to bring the facility into full operation. Is the Minister aware of that at this point? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I could redirect the question through you to the Minister of Justice?

Minister Sebert.

Yes. As you have heard, the project is hopefully to be completed by the end of June, and I understand that inmates will have access to the larger exercise yard beginning this summer. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Testart.

Obviously, this appropriation speaks to the security deficit work that is being corrected. North Slave Correctional Centre Zone 1 Security Infrastructure. Can the Minister provide some details on that? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister McLeod.

Again, through you, Mr. Chair, I would like to go to the Minister of Justice.

Thank you. Minister Sebert.

I'm not entirely sure of the question. Again, you have heard that the project is hopefully going to be completed in June. Certainly, by the summer, they will have access. In fact, it is hoped that they will have access to the larger exercise yard, I see from my note here, in early June. That is the hope.

I am not certain what the balance of the question concerns. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister, I will let Mr. Testart repeat the question. Mr. Testart.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify, Mr. Chair. On page 16 of the supplementary estimates, at the top of the page is North Slave Correctional Centre Security Retrofit, $541,000, and then, down the list, there is North Slave Correctional Centre Zone 1 security infrastructure, $617,000. I am asking if I can get an explanation of this $617,000 appropriation. Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying the question. Minister Sebert.

Thank you. I have been passed a note that there is a contract in place for the NSCC Zone 1 security infrastructure. Construction is under way. Anticipated completion by the end of July 2018.

Thank you. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is that internal to the facility? I know that there was some work that was being undertaken to improve various internal infrastructure. I am just wondering if that is the same extent of the work that we have seen in previous budget documents. Thank you.

Thank you. I will direct this to the Minister of Finance. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, a contract is in place for this project, as well. Some of the particular details that the Member is looking for, we are trying to gather that information. If it helps, I can commit to gathering information and sharing it with the Member, but contracts are in place. I am not sure what their timelines are like. We will have to have a conversation with the contractors. I will gather that information through the department and share it with Member Testart. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and that would be helpful. I am certainly not looking to question the specifics of these projects, other than to gain a general awareness of where the improvements are being targeted and, fundamentally, to know that they are going to get done in a timely fashion. The contract for the security deficiencies has not gone ahead, so I will be keeping an eye for the June date and the July date to ensure that they are done.

Just turning to court services, there is more money in here for the courthouse. Are these all carry-overs from previous years? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is correct. These are carry-overs. Again, as far as the detail goes, something that I think we have learned today is that some of the information that the Members are looking for, I don't have the level of detail provided to me. What I will do is I will have a conversation with all of the departments and ask them to provide me with a little bit more detail to some of the questions that Members are asking so that I am in a better position to defend their asks for the appropriations. I apologize for that, and I think we have also ironed out the process that we are going to use with committee. We will try to space this out a bit and provide them with a bit more detail. Hopefully, that will answer some of their questions before they come in here because they are aware of the detail.

I think there were a couple of lessons that we have learned today, but I will speak to my Cabinet colleagues about the information that the departments provide to us to provide to Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Yes, I see what you're saying. Those are some thin binders that you have got in front of you there. Anything further, Mr. Testart?
