Thank you, Mr. Chair. On the infrastructure side of things, the department is having a look at it. We had a couple of consultants assess the building and develop options for the future of the building. Hopefully, we will have the final reports complete with a detailed review of engineering options and costs related to that fairly soon. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
