Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated, the money would be used for a number of areas. One is a consultant to conduct planning and functional programming. As well, we would have to, for the departments and travel for our own staff to talk with other departments that would be directly affected. As well, the surveying that would have to happen at a site, and geotechnical review. There are a number of locations of land that's owned within the community by the Government of the Northwest Territories. We have to see if they're in fact suitable sites to look at an office space.
The fact that we do have to get a plan together before we can go out to the private groups out there to see if they would be willing to enter into an arrangement where we'd see new office space, right now in fact the private sector is directly involved in the sense of accommodating the staff that were removed out of the Parry Building. For example, we've had a number of staff housed in the Mack Travel building; the Eskimo Inn; the Tuma Group Home, which was actually an owned facility that some of the staff are in; as well as the remaining left in the Parry Building itself. We cannot stay in this situation for much longer. As well, the Parry Building itself, if we have to move the Public Works staff out of there, then we would be in warehouses. That's probably the situation we'd have to go to.
The fact is, we have to get a plan together to be able to deal with whether we go out to the private sector for whether it's a lease-to-own or a leased facility, or we look at our own capital program. So there is going to be opportunity for the private sector once that decision is made. How many of our staff would we look at moving into a facility, or how many of the other landlords out there when we have agreements that are going to expire, lease agreements, those things have to be taken into consideration. So that's some of the things that we need to work on. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
