Thank you, Madam Chair. There was some -- at the -- before groundbreaking and the awarding of the initial construction contract, there were some scope reductions that were taking place to ensure that the project was brought within budget. As the project has moved along, there have also been a couple of other revisions, kind of really derived from the pandemic and global supply chain management. So, for instance, one of them was the steel for trusses in the gym. We were unable to procure the steel in time, and it would have provided a ten-month delay to the project. By the contractor going back and working with the design team, a new replacement was come up with, or a new design was come up using wood trusses, which reduced that delay by five months. So we've seen little things like that, some adjustments, as we move along. But the majority of the contracts, things were in place prior to seeing the extreme shocks resulting from the pandemic. Thank you, Madam Chair.
