There are supposed to be 90 people. There is an issue for the Committee of Public Accounts. What contracts were awarded? Do we know the number of people for whom there are contracts to provide accommodation? Are those contracts dependent on people being in the facilities? If it is contracted for 80 or 90 people and there are 50 in it, then things do not stack up in the context of the report I am looking at. There is supposed to be one washing machine for every 25 people but there is one washing machine for every 50 people. We also know there is supposed to be more than 50 people in this house. I am concerned about those kinds of things. It is difficult to get the information from the Department and I am not sure we are going to get that next week.
