Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the Minister for that answer. It certainly seems appropriate that department officials had to have some input into this. Of course, the community is going to have some input. I don't know if the Minister is the lead department for this, but at one point the community is going to have to have input because in my constituency meetings, people were saying it's a shame to lose this building. In fact, if it can't be a government office, can we just keep it? Can we maintain it for a training facility, because it's ideal for that kind of stuff? I don't know if it has to be classified as a government building in order to be turned into a vocational centre or regional training centre of some type. I would just like to urge the Minister that we have to bear that in mind. We need community input and there must be some way to save all that space because it's a great place. Simpson is the regional centre. We need that space. I don't know if the Minister can comment on how we can...(inaudible)...use without classifying it as government. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
