Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this department is going to be going out soon for a proposal call to the existing businesses in Yellowknife. It is the advice of the deputy minister not to release the figures. It is not for withholding information, but it is for trying to do the best business for this government. There are a number of buildings that we have and the cheapest base rate we have is $11. The highest is $23.25. However, if you add the operations and maintenance on top of it, it increases quite substantially. For example, the cheapest one, $11 base rate, the operations and maintenance is $11.11, so that makes it an annual of $22.11 which is quite low. Then also, the $23.25 one, the highest base one that I mentioned, has an operations and maintenance of $9.72, which makes it $32.97. These are the existing leases that we have. In the case of the Lahm Ridge Tower, I think that if you are insisting on it, then I will tell you. The base rate we negotiated was $16.10, and the operations and maintenance is $10.05, which makes it $26.15. So, we are in the middle of the pack. Like I said, we are the third lowest in this whole deal. It is not only the base and the operations and maintenance that is taken into consideration, as well, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
