Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that it is a very costly project that doesn't have the same benefits of, say, a hospital or a road so being fiscally prudent on capital certainly. We're standing alone, I think, for the wrong reasons in some areas. I know the department sent a letter to the law society informing them of the change. Were other governments consulted in their library usage statistics because I wonder if we are alone in this decline? My sense would be that other jurisdictions, if the Minister is correct that major law firms are shutting their legal libraries down, perhaps it is true that other government-funded libraries have low usage, but are maintained for completely different reasons and that's a service to the public. Were other governments consulted on their law libraries? Thank you.
