The NDP says the Ministry of Children and Family Development has blown 560-thousand dollars renovating its Victoria headquarters, nearly triple the original budget of 200-thousand.But Minister Tom Christensen says the scope of the project expanded from just a new boardroom to include some necessary office work as well, "It is not over budget, it is a project that provides the space necessary to enable the Ministry to host meetings with stakeholders, to provide training space that for a long time has not been available."Christensen admits there's never a good time to spend money on office upgrades. The Opposition says the money was wasted on a fancy office project instead of helping children in need.
