Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement, I made reference to the Lahm Ridge Tower and us, as Members, being referred to, as representing a banana republic. I should tell that person maybe it is like a snowflake republic. No bananas in this country. Mr. Speaker, we have heard many questions and we have heard some answers and we have skirted around the issue time and time again. I would like to address the question to the Minister of Public Works and Services. It is in reference to the office space that we have available, surplus office space of 75,000 square feet and Lahm Ridge Tower having office space of 45,000 square feet. Hearing the Minister, in the past, say this has been a good business decision, that we are saving money, my question is, in that 75,000 square feet, that we are already leasing, already paying for, is it a true net savings, when we could have moved people into some available space, instead of signing another agreement that costs this government $1.2 million a year? Would there be a savings by moving them across into some of this available space? Thank you.
