Madam Chair, thank you. That was not quite my question, though. I want to know, when we look at leasing or renting a building, does the Housing Corporation have a way of analyzing the long-term operating costs of buildings? I guess to illustrate this very briefly, Madam Chair, if I'm going out to lease a building and one landlord offers me a 20-year-old building with a lease cost of $10 a square foot, and then I'm looking at a newer building that's going to cost $20 a square foot, over the long-term cost of that I know that the older building is going to cost me more to operate than the newer building. Are we calculating this into our decision about who to lease with? That's the point. Have we got a way of assessing long-term operating costs and is the corporation factoring that into its negotiations?
