Mr. Brennan Mr. Brennan 224 Mr. Brennan: Would the Minister not agree that these delaying tactics have been responsible for the increased cost of the home which, if it was built at the time it was sanctioned, would have been built for considerably [224] less money than it will cost now. Will he state whether the board have in fact the money available to build it at all?
