Thank you, Madam Chair. My understanding is that the original design was for something like an 8,000 or 10,000 square foot building, and now we are down to half of that. I am just wondering: I know that we ended up buying the equipment before we even had a design. What's happening with the equipment that is there if we designed for a building twice the size? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think we can certainly commit to getting that information back to the Member. There's an obvious interest in it, but that does deviate a bit from the infrastructure carry-overs that we are looking at, Madam Chair, but we can certainly get the information, nonetheless.

Thank you, Madam Chair. One other issue that comes up with that is the location of the plant. Can the Minister tell me what the location is, and if there are any alternate locations? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I am going to add that to the commitment of information that we are going to get for the Member who has this interest in fishing.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Minister of ITI mentioned the processing, as well, and I am just curious, I guess, as to the impact that the processing facility will have on the fish that come in. Is this government looking at processing as much as they can and not sending as much through FFMC? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am happy to make sure that we give those commitments and provide that information, but I don't have that information on the infrastructure supp. I only have information regarding how much is being carried over from last year to either continue the work that is under way or to follow through on contracts that were previously signed. I am quite confident that the Minister of ITI is going to have to give a fairly detailed briefing about the stage of the fishing projects and these particular projects, likely in advance of the capital plans that are coming forward in July, since there will obviously be continuing work included on those plans. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. Just one more question. I just want a commitment from, I guess, the Minister of ITI that we do get a detailed briefing on the plant and design and expenditures sooner than later. Thank you, Madam Chair.
