The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade is hoping to occupy its new headquarters in downtown Kingston by June.
However, Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Kamina Johnson Smith said the full cost of the relocation could not be accommodated in the Estimates of Expenditure for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins on April 1.
She was speaking in Gordon House Tuesday morning where the Standing Finance Committee of Parliament examined the budgetary allocations to her ministry.
Senator Johnson Smith noted that moving into the new building will provide substantial savings to the government, but indicated that it was too early to determine the amount.
