Mr. Chair, I understand that inmates who avail themselves of this work are on a temporary absence program, and I understand that liability is covered by the act. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, the reprogramming of the youth facility will result in considerable savings, and that’s the reason, as I understand it, for the reduction. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, in view of the very little usage by the general public, it seems that the public isn’t that interested in using this resource either. To be fair also, that unlike other libraries that resource is only open for a fairly limited time, but even during the hours of operation, I think only about one per cent of the people using it were members of the general public. As I say, these types of resources, legal research can be done online cheaply and often at no cost. That’s how envision legal education in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, I would.

Mr. Chair, we would certainly hope that there would be no gaps, that there would be a seamless transition if I could put it that way. It does depend somewhat on the evaluation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, the $50,000 was going to be the money we would save immediately or this year, but perhaps Ms. Schofield can assist. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d ask that Ms. Schofield be allowed respond to that.

Mr. Chair, we are always responsive. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I wonder if Ms. Haener might be able to assist on this question. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Friday, June 24, 2016, I will move that Bill 6, Miscellaneous Statute Law Amendment Acts 2016, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
