Mr. Chairman, I will have to get back on the length of that lease. I do not think the problem we had with the roof on the building is indicative of a structural problem with the whole building. Apparently one of the supporting pillars had been cut off at one point in history and structurally it was not sound. That has been repaired. There has been a fair bit of investment to have the highways people located back in that building. We will have to get back on how long the lease is for that building. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just thought that since we made this major investment, like with the Laing Building, we might have some office space there. I thought maybe we could put these people in there, fill it up with our own people, since we own that building.

Mr. Chairman, I do not believe there is room to put them in the Laing Building but when the lease is up and there is an alternative space then certainly we would consider whatever alternatives there are. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this same issue Mr. Krutko raised, being a leased building, the lease agreement would not cover costs like this, being a building that is supplied to the government, it collapses or fails. Would that not be included in the costs of the owner of that building to ensure it is stable and usable space? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, no, the tenant does not have insurance to cover this kind of thing and the government's annual deductible is $1 million. This is the first time this has happened in 25 years of leasing space. To carry insurance for this sort of possibility is just not financially a good decision.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are other government leases for occupying space, do they fall under that same category of not being insured to cover that type of a loss, I guess? If that is the case, the potential is we will be, for the failure of any leases, we are going to pay for the repairs ourselves and the cost of moving and so on. It just does not seem to make sense if we have that kind of lease setups and arrangements out there.

Mr. Chairman, we include our loss in our insurance against the million that we have. That is for our loss. If we were to ask the landlord or the owner of the building to carry insurance for this kind of eventuality then I suspect it would cost us much more than this would be, happening once in 25 years. We might go another 50 years before we ever see something like this. We would be forcing landlords to carry that kind of insurance and they would be charging us for it. It is easier for us and more economical to take the risk.
