Again, I want to say that in affluent times it is easy to look at luxury items, what I would find as luxury items. In difficult times you have to look at a way of doing multi-use buildings, et cetera. One of the things, apart from what I saw in Iqaluit where they shared the space with the library, one of the things we said to Education was, you have to take a closer look at some co-ordination between people who look after cultural affairs, library services and schools. I wonder if any consideration is going to be given to that, about the need to try to amalgamate visitors' centres and information centres with other facilities. Let us use Arviat. In Arviat, the school that was built last year, or the visitors' centre that is currently being built, and the library that is now going to be built -- there has to be some cost savings, I would think. It has to click, it has to integrate, it has got to work, but I am wondering if in future that kind of thinking should not come into the picture.
