Thank you very much again, Mr. Chair, for giving me the floor to ask a few more questions.
Prior to being elected to Parliament, I spent almost two decades in the property management real estate sector in the greater Toronto area. I'm certainly fairly familiar with the advantages of leasing versus owning space, the importance of renovating space to make sure that it's appropriate for the use, and at the same time making sure we're getting the best bang for the buck out of those changes. Anyone who has been around here for the last three and a half years as I have has certainly seen the bustle of construction and different things going on.
How prevalent is moving people around and making decisions to move different offices and departments around in different buildings whether they're owned or leased? What are the factors that go into making that decision? I'm fairly sure you do a cost-benefit analysis on what works best for any given department or ministry and the functions of its individuals. Is there a difference between how you look at this within the national capital region and how you do this for other offices and services we have across the country?
