Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the Laing Building, I do not believe that by selling it you are taking if off the market. Right now it is not classified as a lease property which is owned by this government. We own it lock, stock and barre. It is no cost to us in regard to leasing. If you lease that building, what you are doing is putting another 90,000 square feet on the market for whoever buys it. If that is what they want to do, that is what they can do. You are increasing the amount which is basically 220,000 square feet right now. Technically you are adding to the problem versus resolving it.

In regard to the question I asked earlier, there is a lot of office space in Yellowknife in which, to be fair to all people in the real estate market, there should have been some call for proposals so we can get the best price for the amount of money we spend. If that means someone is going to come in at a price the lease market has right now in which you are getting it for $15 a square foot, instead of paying $35 a square foot; I think the market right now is competitive and people will go that extra mile to get your business. In the case of the Laing Building, there were interested parties who took a look at it with the understanding from the Department of Public Works that there were going to be no long-term lease initiatives made. There were meetings held between the Denendeh Development Corporation, yourself and the Minister. You knew there were other interested parties in this building. You are saying, we did it. Yet, you are still planning on looking at savings. There has to be a plan in place where we know exactly the price per square foot of each of these buildings that we are looking at, so we can see exactly what the cost-savings are to this government. We recently approved three office spaces in the Centre Square, the Lahm Ridge Tower, the Northern United Place and the Professional Building. Yet, there are other buildings out there, the Northwest Tower, Bellanca Developments, where there is a lot of vacant office space. I would like to ask the Minister, did they go out for calls for proposals with regard to when they were looking at the Lahm Ridge Tower deal?
