I will move on to the children's hospital. We can all agree that we want it opened as soon as possible. We all agree that this will be a game-changer for children when it is opened. I think we will all agree that it has been a mess as well. It has taken so long to get to a point where it will be completed. Is there a new estimated completion date? What is the update on that? We know the most recent one was not going to be met. Has there been any communication between the contractor and the board on a new completion date? Can the Minister tell the committee what the most up to date cost of the children's hospital will be?
