Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess I would have difficulty in recognizing how we are harming the operations of a company that did put in a response to an RFP. This company had put in their response. All three were actually deemed not to make the cut, but when we looked at what was on the table and the request for the space, and this was seen as adequate space in a downtown location where people can easily access the service that's been asked for, it was felt that this was the avenue to go. Again with discussions with the Department of Justice, we felt that this was the avenue we go with. It may not be the best and the 15-year term the Member refers to, again, it's a five-year lease with an option to extend. If we find that it's just not fitting or the Department of Justice finds that it is not working there, at that point we can review the options that are available to us. We all know that here in the city of Yellowknife space is very, very tight and everything is going at a premium. Thank you.
