Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that, according to national quantity surveyors BMT and Associates, the standard school hall under the BER is costing taxpayers $5,800 per square metre? That is four times as much as a one- or two-storey air-conditioned office building. How can the minister still insist that the buildings imposed on schools under the Building the Education Revolution are good value for money?
