Thank you, Mr. Chair. I apologize if I am taking too much time up on this issue, but I saw the facility. It is a beautiful facility, but there weren’t just problems with the floor. I seem to remember that the exterior had problems, as well. I hope those are being addressed at the same time. I just hate to think that a contractor went in there and we have to keep in mind that a contractor that does faulty work brings the whole industry down, especially if they run away from their responsibility. I think that is an insult to the good contractors that do good work and by us letting them go...

Thank you, Minister Roland. Mr. Yakeleya.
