That's $585,000? He said $585. It's for six books.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm not going to try to say the name. The school actually had some outstanding deficiencies that we needed to get done, and so the final inspection is actually planned for this month in June. Once the final inspection is done, we are expecting it to be open. We are expecting it to be open by the end of June, July. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. End of June or July, so we are not going to be seeing the students in that school, except for the community assembly building that they use as their little small gym? Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like I said, the inspection is being done in June for health and safety. I will not allow any children into any school building unless the building is deemed safe. I am afraid that, no, students will not be allowed until the final inspection is done and the school is deemed safe for all children to enter. At that point, then I will allow it to be open. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am thankful that the Minister is safe, but again, this has been going on for a few years. I appreciate the answer.

My other question is the Diamond Jenness Secondary gym door installation of $26,000. Could the Finance Minister or the Minister of Education further elaborate on that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
