Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will continue where my colleague, Ms. Lee, left off. In terms of the $115,000 special warrant, I am just wondering how a special warrant could be approved for the new office. Actually, from the information that the Department of Public Works and Services has provided the House, we found out that the actual landlord is paying most of the leasehold costs on the new office locating into Centre Square Mall. I am just wondering if the Minister could tell us what exactly the $115,000 is for and why the special warrant. Thank you.

It is a shame, it really is. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Braden, your time has expired. I will go to Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ll rephrase the question. Why are we paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in wrongful dismissal suits? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The total project of $11.2 million includes $4.6 million from CATSA and $6.6 million that’s going to be recovered. The $3.4 million is part of the $6.6 million, is it not? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’d like to advise the Minister that that has happened and is happening at Stanton, and that’s something he should perhaps check on. I’m also going to ask the Minister if he or his department are currently doing anything to address the concerns of the nurses that have been left out of the increases at Stanton. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I’ll pick up where my colleague, Mr. Braden, left off. I’m really concerned, as well, about this $6.6 million and Cabinet’s decision. I would like to know what the rationale was in Cabinet to go forward with this thing under the cost recovery plan without a plan. Here we have a $6.6 million expenditure that Cabinet basically approved through this $3.4 million special warrant with no plan, no consultation and, again, Madam Chair, no public consultation, no public debate on this issue. To me, Madam Chair, this is wrong. I’d like to ask the Minister what was Cabinet’s...

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Dent.
