Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On April 10^th the Chief Public Health Officer did make an order for the owner to do an environmental assessment on the building, to determine the things that the Member has identified. At the time, we were comfortable knowing that there was limited access to the building, because the Fire Marshal and the Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission also had some orders. They were in care and control of the building, which would limit access.

Mr. Speaker, on May 14^th, when the orders from the WSCC and the Fire Marshal were concluded, we had an opportunity to get into the building and see that things have, in fact, worsened. We have actually issued another order, and the order is a little bit more significant this time. We are actually asking that a qualified environmental company be identified and taken into the building to determine the level of exposure in the building. As the Member has said, things have worsened since the fire. The building did get significantly wet inside. There is mould growing. There are more problems.

Mr. Speaker, we never got a report on the initial assessment when we asked for it. We are hopeful that we will get something from the owner of the building. Before they can actually move forward and do anything on that building, any rehabilitation or any changes, they will have to meet that order, and they will also have to meet any additional requirements put on them by the WSCC and the Fire Marshal.

We will be monitoring. The order is not toothless, Mr. Speaker. We do have the ability to fine the individual should the order not be met. We also have the ability to require some work to be done, which we can bill back to the owner. We haven't reached that point. We have just gotten access to that building on May 14^th and have issued the order since then. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
