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.

Mr. Chair, perhaps Deputy Minister Goldney could best answer that question.

That is the plan as I understand it. Thank you.

Perhaps I could give the last four or five years, Mr. Chair. The highs, lows and average starting in 2012-2013, the highest monthly average was 11, the lowest monthly average was 5, the peak high and low for that year was three and 14. That was 2012-2013. In 2013-2014, highest monthly average 12, lowest monthly average, four. Peak low and high three and 13. In 2014-2015, highest monthly average 12, lowest monthly average three, peak low and high three and 14. In 2015-2016, highest monthly average 15, lowest monthly average five, peak low and high four and 18. So those are the stats over the...

I understand that $1.2 million has been expended so far, but we are bound by contractual obligations, of course. Thank you.

Yes, the New Day Program is not a capital project. Thank you.

Perhaps Ms. Schofield could answer that question.

Ms. Schofield could answer that.

I understand it is not a carryover from the previous year. Thank you.
