Mr. Chair, yes, the department examines all of our facilities each year. We use data in terms of the condition of the buildings, the age of the buildings, and also the utilization. So that’s the start of our planning process, and we identify the needs, working very closely with our clients and the Department of Public Works. As we move forward in the process, particularly for large major projects such as schools, we will do, for schools, an educational plan which looks at the type of program use that will occur and identifies what will occur now and also in the future. Then we move into the government planning process which starts with the approval of a planning study which takes the project through to schematic design, and at that point it moves into the next stage of the government planning process which assesses our projects against other government projects in determining if they can be placed on the government’s capital plan. Thank you.
