Certainly elements of the portfolio do. I would call the Parliament Buildings iconic. I think there are other buildings, heritage properties, that are particularly important to Canadian identity and heritage. I would also say that--and this is just one man's view--I think there is value in the dispersion of buildings across Canada, things like post offices and RCMP detachments, in terms of establishing the federal presence and connecting Canadians.
