There is still no progress to report on the negotiations over the cost sharing of the RMCP's new Surrey headquarters.
Justice Minister Shirley Bond is repeating the province will only pay what is fair.
"The issue of Green Timbers continues to be a priority for us and again in my recent meetings in Ottawa this was a topic of discussion with the Commissioner and with Minister Toews. We have made it clear we are not going to be paying for space that we don't believe that we should be responsible for so yes there are ongoing discussions."
Bond did say it is time to stop tackling rcmp cost concerns piecemeal and begin to deal with them all together.
The Green Timbers headquarters cost 263-million dollars to build but other expenditures, like financing, push it over a billion dollars.
The cost will be split between BC, Ottawa, and local governments.
