The province has put out a Request For Proposals to companies interested in constructing Dauphin's new Justice centre.
Justice Minister Matt Wiebe also updated CKDM News now on when construction of the new facility will begin.
"There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes when we are talking about designing and building a facility like this. But what I can say confidently to the people of Dauphin is that we are going to have construction being started by this fall."
Wiebe was also asked when we can expect to start hearing details about what will be included in the new Justice centre.
"We are going to have more to say throughout the summer. I think there is a bit of a challenge with how much we can share about a highly secure facility. It is a bit different when you are building a justice centre than you are (building) something else. "
Consultations on the makeup of the Justice facility have been ongoing for several months, and has included municipal officials from both the city and the R-M, local first nations groups, and other key stakeholders.
