Yes, Mr. Chair. This is now a 40-year-old building. It was initially built as a courthouse, but my understanding is that it always included office space housing the Department of Justice.
I realize that philosophically that creates some problems in that there should, of course, be a clear division between various branches of government and the judiciary. There have been efforts over the years to promote, if I can put it that way, a standalone courthouse, which would clearly be a good thing. I think we can all say that.
The problem is, as I understand, that years ago when this was looked at, the price was very high. You are quite correct that a lot of money has been put into the building over the years, and those leasehold improvements, as I understand it, have been paid for by the government. I believe our current lease is coming up in a few years.
I think at this point I can tell you that we will be discussing with the Department of Infrastructure this whole issue of our courthouse needs going forward into the future. I do realize that the building is no longer -- it's adequate, but it's probably not the best. This is a live issue with us and we will be discussing it with Infrastructure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
