I guess I would just like assurance that before this facility would leave the hands and the submission of the GNWT under the Department of Public Works and Services that there would be ample time to entertain proposals for other sorts of things. I have suggested in the past perhaps even like NGOs that deal with certain types of social issues and things like that. I just don’t want to see us run out of time and go, oh no, here comes the wrecking ball, let’s tear the building down. I still think it has value. I’m a little biased.

Will the Minister assure me and assure the...

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he would concur that there are different standards of types of buildings within the inventory of the GNWT and that probably hospitals are one of the more costly and more technical types of buildings. They’re more costly to build. If we were looking at a repurposing or re-profiling of this building and it were not for a hospital, for something else, does the Minister concur that the standards that might be applied to that evaluation would be considerably decreased? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister McLeod.

Thank you. I’ll ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses to the table.

Thank you. Mr. Stewart.

Does committee agree that that concludes our consideration of the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs?

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister McLeod.
