I wish to ask Mr. Ruane about his involvement. Everyone present is trying to do his or her best. The officials have attended to try to explain what is happening from their perspective, and the committee appreciates that. We have been debating this issue for quite some time and it is good to hear the official side as well as the community side. Unfortunately, I do not believe we will be successful at this meeting in reaching an amicable resolution between the two sides. However, I hope a solution that each views as workable can be found. It will not be easily done.

Mr. Ruane mentioned the plans, and the Chair referenced the floodplain and everything else. What are the plans in the short to medium term for the future prospects of the overall campus? I heard Ms Killeen White talk about the administrative side, diabetic care and everything else. What is the vision for the overall campus in the short to medium term?
