Mr. Chair, one of the comments was whether we would do further studies prior to proceeding with renovations. Certainly one of the jobs of the architect when they're hired is to make sure that they have the necessary information before proceeding with renovation on any of our buildings. So the answer to that would be yes, there would be further work done prior to proceeding with renovation.
Right now the information that we have from Public Works is that the structures are sound, and that we can proceed to renovate both facilities. But, again, further work will be done.
Normally the benchmark we use for renovations is when the estimated cost exceeds 60 percent of new construction, then we would look at building new rather than renovation. Thank you.
