Mr. Speaker, we had the contractor do an analysis. It was determined that there had to be a change in the methodology of applying the product that was going to be the finished surface. There has to be now a buffer in between it. There also has to be some allowance for airflow so that the system can be rid of the moisture that builds up. So it’s a different product completely from what we were initially trying to use for this flooring. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is an issue that has been of great concern to the community and to the Member. We have taken a number of measures to come up with a plan to rectify the situation where the moisture in the cement flooring has caused some swelling of the covering that was placed on the floor. We have now gone back into the community and have come up with a plan with the contractor. Several tests were done and it was found that some of the vents were closed to allow the slab to dry and get some of the moisture out of the floor. We have ordered most of the material, most...

Mr. Speaker, this is a technical briefing on the construction of the bridge and that’s what the contents of the briefing will be referred to. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, good question, indeed. Mr. Speaker, usually, if there’s going to be a briefing of a political nature or the Minister is going to be involved or MLAs are going to be involved, we’d hold it here. This is a technical briefing provided by our staff, our officials, and it’s more convenient to have it at that facility. That’s the reason for holding it there. Thank you.
