I think the only thing we can say at this point that it will be a full-time position. Thank you.

I would like to bring witnesses in.

Yes, I think we are or have been consulting with the department and also will be consulting with the Bar Association about the new resource centre. Thank you.

Yes, I understand that the plan is that it will be completed in 2018-2019. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand that the total cost for the courthouse common lobby retrofit would be $402,000, so the funds for the new resource centre would be included in that amount.

Yes, the requirement for the building is obvious for anybody that's been in Fort Smith. The current women's facility was, I think, built in the 1960s, so I think that the examination as to whether it was needed was done some time ago even before the Auditor General's report. Thank you.

No, this money is for tenant improvement on the fourth floor. The library was on the first floor. Thank you.

I don't think the cameras will be placed in a place where they'll be observing the normal residents in their houses, no.

I'm not entirely sure, Mr. Chair, whether I understood the question. As I say, the present facility was totally inadequate and that's why it was necessary to build the new facility. We do appreciate and understand the concerns expressed by Members.

It is a little larger than the maximum we have had over the last five years, but not much larger. We remain concerned about issues of rehabilitation of course because that's an important element of corrections. The very name is an indication of that. I'm not sure I'm answering the Member's question, but thank you.

Yes, that is correct. Thank you.
