Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It seems to be an ongoing saga with this building. If the records were looked at, you would see that, previous to 1991, a lot of money had been spent renovating that building. It still didn't correct the problem and we are prepared to put another $250,000. So we end up with $500,000 just in stop-gap measures. I would question the thought behind trying to salvage a building that is sitting on top of a stream. You're going to have this problem continuously, regardless of whether you put a basement on top of a basement. I just wonder if the cost-benefit of spending $500,000 on a building, that initially cost somewhere around the neighbourhood of $50,000, is a wise investment of our money? I would certainly ask the Minister of Finance, who is a very frugal person, to examine this very closely to see whether or not we're throwing good money after bad. Thank you.
